Greetings to Honorable Readers,
It is my honor and privilege to be able to work here in the Kyrgyz Republic.
I arrived to Bishkek for the very first time in December 2021. It is indeed my privilege since the world is still under the COVID-19 effect. Since then, I am witnessing dynamic changes and serious efforts to uplift this country by the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic and the people of this country.
Through JICA projects and activities, I strongly wish to create more jobs for the young people and contribute human capital development by introducing Japanese experience for further cooperation.
In the Kyrgyz Republic, JICA supports two priority areas: 1) Diversification of Industry and Jobs Creation, 2) Improvement of Governance and Social Services.
Just to show you some examples of our projects, please refer to the following websites for further information and see how JICA is trying to accomplish these priority areas;
The uniqueness of JICA's cooperation stands in the fact that Japan has experienced the first modernization within a short period time back in 150 years ago, and also reconstructed rapidly after the World War II. With the lack of natural resources, Japanese policy has taken priority on the human resource development and creating modern systems of politics, public administrations, and economy with private sector development. These experiences contain lessons learnt too. JICA, modernizing our expertise, would be happy to bridge the needs in the Kyrgyz Republic and the above Japan's experiences, aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), then to contribute to the development of the Kyrgyz Republic.
We will update our activities timely through the following page. We appreciate if you can access it and support our activities.
Lastly, I wish to highlight the fact that over the last decades, since JICA started its assistance back in 1993, there has been a network of Kyrgyz people to discuss how to utilize some knowledge or skills obtained from Japan for this beautiful country. I was really impressed and encouraged by this fact and decided to enhance this relationship further for our mutual benefit.
Mr. KAWAMOTO Hiroyuki, Chief Representative of JICA in the Kyrgyz Republic
