Kyrgyz parliament to consider roadmap for Kyrgyzstan's accession to Customs Union
BISHKEK. April 12 (Interfax) - The Kyrgyz government has approved a draft version of the roadmap for Kyrgyzstan's accession to the Customs Union, Kyrgyz Economy Minister Temir Sariyev told a press conference on Monday.
"The government will continue working on the mechanism to finance the events of the roadmap and adapting the Kyrgyz economy to functioning in the Customs Union," Sariyev said.
The document will be submitted to the parliament and will be debated in the committees on international affairs and fiscal policies, he said.
"The integration process began a long time ago. Kyrgyzstan applied to enter this association back in 2011," the minister said.
"The adoption of the roadmap does not mean accession to the Customs Union because an agreement needs to be signed and adopted," Sariyev said.
