According to a study conducted by the Russian National Research Institute for Communication Development, Kyrgyzstan views Russia as its leading strategic partner. This is evident both at the official level and in practical interactions at international forums.

Experts emphasize that frequent contacts between the two countries, including high-level meetings, confirm this partnership.

“High-level interactions, as well as active cooperation between foreign ministries and personal meetings between presidents, underscore Russia's status. Important roles are played by the formats of the EAEU, CSTO, CIS, and SCO, where Kyrgyzstan and Russia align their positions on issues of security, economy, and information security. The CSTO exercises 'Rubezh—2025', conducted on Kyrgyz territory, and the country's active participation in discussions on cyber and information security confirm a high level of trust and political coordination,” the report states.

The report also indicates that Kyrgyzstan has avoided actions that could be perceived as a threat to Russia's interests. In international organizations, the republic has shown caution on issues sensitive to Russia, refraining from votes with an anti-Russian orientation and not joining sanctions.

Furthermore, the study highlights that economic ties between the two countries continue to develop. In 2025, Kyrgyzstan will be under a favorable regime due to its membership in the EAEU, which provides legal and economic conditions for trade. Reforms in customs administration, digitalization, and transit also contribute to simplifying trade procedures.

Thus, Russia maintains its position as Kyrgyzstan's largest trading partner.
