According to official representatives, these measures are temporary and targeted. Their goal is to restore order at the border and prevent the illegal turnover of goods, which poses a threat to national security.
Kazakhstan emphasizes the importance of good-neighborly relations with Kyrgyzstan, which is a strategic partner and ally. The authorities of Kazakhstan hope for mutual understanding and further cooperation to combat illegal activities that cause serious damage to the economies of both countries and their international reputation.
The leadership of Kazakhstan has always shown sincere respect for the Kyrgyz people and its top leadership. This position remains unchanged and is not dependent on current circumstances.
According to the information, the cessation of illegal transportation serves the interests of both states, as noted in the statement.
The EEC also indicated that such measures fall exclusively within the national authority of the member states of the Eurasian Economic Union and do not affect integration processes.
It was previously reported that at the checkpoint on the border with Kazakhstan, the movement of freight transport has been almost completely halted. Drivers report that they have been unable to cross the border for three days.
The Eurasian Economic Commission also commented on the situation at certain sections of the border, confirming that delays are caused by planned measures for controlling the turnover of goods.
The Kazakh side again emphasized the temporary nature of these measures, which do not affect the regime of Eurasian integration.
