The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan issued a statement on the situation with Kazakh enterprises in the Kyrgyz Republic.

We publish the text of the statement:

We express our grave concern in connection with the attacks and attempts to seize a number of enterprises owned by Kazakh investors in the Kyrgyz Republic.

Of particular concern are the facts of threats of physical violence against employees – citizens of the Republic of Kazakhstan and damage to the property of these enterprises. In recent years, Kazakhstani companies have invested more than $1 billion in the economy of Kyrgyzstan, making a significant contribution to the socio-economic development of the neighboring country.

We call on the Kyrgyz side to immediately take measures to ensure the safety of both citizens of Kazakhstan and Kazakh companies located on the territory of Kyrgyzstan.
