I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations on the occasion of the 16^th anniversary of formation of the Economic Cooperation Organization.

Kyrgyz Republic greatly values the processes of regional development in the network of the Economic Cooperation Organization with a view of effective realization of potential of the Organization.

The Economic Cooperation Organization continues to represent itself as an important part of economic integration processes in our region. In this context it is necessary to note, that member countries should play important role in effective implementation of the Organization’s goals.

I am sure that our Organization should exist and develop as mutually beneficial implementation activity to achieve these goals.

Kyrgyzstan understands logical suitability and prospects of regional economic cooperation proceeding from necessity of a harmonious combination of national and economic interests.

I would like to assure you that Kyrgyzstan will do all the best to increase efficiency and the further deepening of regional cooperation within the frameworks of the Economic Cooperation Organization.
