On November 28, a panel session titled "Central Asia: A Bridge Between East and West. How the Cultural Code Shapes the Economy of the Future" took place in Yekaterinburg, featuring the Consul General of the Kyrgyz Republic, Maksat Tentimishov. This was reported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kyrgyzstan.
This session was part of the IX All-Russian Forum "Cities of Russia: Technologies of Leadership," which was held on November 27-28.
In his speech, Tentimishov emphasized the key role of Kyrgyzstan as an important element in the development of Eurasian ties. He noted that the Great Silk Road historically represented not only a trade route but also a platform for the exchange of cultural, technological, and ideological ideas, which remains relevant today.
"The cultural code of the Kyrgyz people includes values such as hospitality, openness, tolerance, and the centuries-old traditions of nomads, which teach us to be mobile, adaptive, and to find common ground with various partners. These qualities contribute to creating a favorable environment for an economy based on trust, creative industries, and 'green' technologies," he emphasized.
Additionally, Tentimishov highlighted specific areas where cooperation between Kyrgyzstan and the Urals can develop, including tourism, the agro-industrial complex, IT, and energy.
In the context of discussing the economy of the future, he also noted the launch on November 20 of a new stablecoin backed by gold reserves, making Kyrgyzstan one of the first countries to implement a gold-backed digital asset.
