The event was attended by the head of the Cabinet, Adylbek Kasymaliev.
"For Kyrgyzstan, it is a great honor to host such a significant international sporting event. Today, our capital has gathered 659 athletes from 73 countries, which highlights the diversity of cultures and traditions. This is a vivid testament to the fact that sports unite people, overcome barriers, and embody the most important ideals of humanity — such as peace, friendship, and respect. The significance of this championship is further enhanced by the fact that it is dedicated to the 60th anniversary of sambo in our country," he noted.
The history of sambo in Kyrgyzstan began in 1965 when Sergey Zhuldibin laid its foundations. Since then, this sport has become an important part of our sporting culture," added Kasymaliev.
