Likhachev emphasized that the long-standing ties between the two countries have been formed based on active interaction that encompasses various spheres. "Kyrgyzstan is not just a bilateral partner, but also an important participant in organizations such as the Eurasian Economic Union, the CIS, and the CSTO. This highlights the presence of a dynamically developing agenda both today and in the future," he added.
According to him, the presidents of Russia and Kyrgyzstan discussed the progress made since their last meeting in the spring and noted that many projects have advanced significantly. One of these areas is nuclear medicine. In particular, a joint project with the IAEA has already been implemented, and work has begun on the establishment of a Nuclear Medicine Center, which is expected to improve the healthcare system in Kyrgyzstan.
Additionally, the first batch of equipment for the wind power station in the Issyk-Kul region has already arrived, and a second batch is on its way. The creation of small modular generation in Kyrgyzstan is also actively being discussed.
Likhachev highlighted the importance of the reclamation of sites related to the nuclear legacy of the Soviet era. Currently, five tailings storage facilities have already been brought to a safe condition, and three more are in the planning stage.
"Kyrgyz companies are participating in these projects as our subcontractors. This contributes to the establishment of reliable and trusting relationships in the field of nuclear energy, which requires a special level of trust between governments and close cooperation between companies," concluded the head of 'Rosatom'.
