Kasymaliev also raised the issue of introducing a visa-free regime for citizens of Kyrgyzstan, which, in his opinion, would simplify travel to the UAE and contribute to strengthening relations between the peoples and businesses. He invited representatives of the UAE to participate in the investment forum "Cooperation Council of Arab Gulf States - Central Asia," which will take place in Bishkek in April 2026, and expressed a desire for the Sheikh to send a delegation of major sovereign funds to Kyrgyzstan to familiarize themselves with investment projects.
