Kyrgyz Republic-Japan Center for Human Development
Kyrgyzstan gained its independence in 1991 after the collapse of the former Soviet Union and quickly made the transition to a market economy. In 1998, it gained entry into the WTO and it has continued to pursue many reforms. However, scarce natural resources and an unfavorable topography have impeded progress; and the economy remains unstable.
Known as “the Switzerland of Central Asia”, it has utilized its scenic resources, a climate ideally suited for agricultural and livestock production, and a highly educated labor force to its advantage to establish key industries and to attract foreign capital.
The objective of the Kyrgyz Republic-Japan Center is to offer Japan’s knowledge and experience in business management as a nation with scarce natural resources that also faced similar disadvantages like Kyrgyzstan.
Kyrgyz Republic-Japan Center was open in June 2002 at Bishkek.
