Five years at the helm of the state: how Kyrgyzstan has changed under Sadyr Japarov

Experts emphasize the high quality of the reforms carried out over the past five years, which have encompassed all aspects of state governance. These changes have already begun to yield noticeable results and have become the foundation for major industrial and infrastructure projects at both regional and international levels.

Tectonic changes are occurring in the country. Zainidin Kurmanov, a public and political figure, notes that the reforms cover all areas and are not limited to narrow directions. "The transition to a new Constitution, changes in management priorities, and the fight against corruption and bureaucracy — all of this builds the foundation for a more disciplined executive apparatus. Kyrgyzstan will now be an important hub in the global East-West transport routes, especially in light of the development of railway networks in Central Asia," he says.

The nationalization of "Kumtor" is of particular significance, as this mine now operates for the benefit of the people, allowing for an understanding of how the country was previously plundered. The energy sector is also undergoing significant changes, including the construction of the largest hydropower plant in the region, "Kambar-Ata – 1," in cooperation with neighboring states.

It is also worth noting the construction of the China – Kyrgyzstan – Uzbekistan railway, which, already underway, will allow the country to emerge from a transport deadlock in the future. This will enable an increase in the budget through freight transit and integrate Kyrgyzstan into the global trading system.

Importantly, the current government and president enjoy the support of the population. Citizens see positive changes and believe in the country's leader, hoping that the development course will strengthen the state and improve the quality of life, as noted by Zainidin Kurmanov.

The effectiveness of governance has increased, allowing Kyrgyzstan to transition to a new economic model and establish itself as a dynamically developing state, notes former Foreign Minister Alikbek Jekshenkulov.

In conclusion, summarizing the five-year presidency of Sadyr Japarov, it can be asserted that Kyrgyzstan has undergone significant positive changes. Domestic and foreign policies have become more systematic, with an emphasis on the interests of the state and the well-being of the people.

The strengthening of internal security has been made possible by the neutralization of criminal structures that previously hindered economic development and threatened political stability.

In matters of external security, an important step has been the resolution of border disputes with neighbors, which has significantly improved the situation in the region. The leaders who have made Central Asia a zone of friendship and prosperity have been awarded the Leo Tolstoy Prize, which can be called a "peace prize." Sadyr Japarov's contribution to the signing of the border agreement is quite significant.

The strengthening of state structure, the introduction of the People's Kurultai, and reforms of the electoral system demonstrate the high effectiveness of the government. Kyrgyzstan is aimed at creating a new developed society with strong governance institutions.

The country's economic indicators show positive dynamics. In terms of GDP growth rates, Kyrgyzstan ranks third in the world and leads among the SCO, EAEU, and CIS countries, indicating progress on the path of creation.

In terms of international relations, Kyrgyzstan has significantly strengthened its position and is now perceived positively in the world. This attracts the attention of investors, which is extremely important for further development, emphasizes Alikbek Jekshenkulov.

Over the past five years, Kyrgyzstan has undergone a serious path of reforms that, under different historical conditions, could have taken decades. Today, the country demonstrates sustainable progress and is moving forward, gaining economic stability.
