Kyrgyzstan has launched talks with several countries, including Azerbaijan and Russia, to secure additional fuel supplies as it works to diversify imports and ensure long-term energy security.

The negotiations are underway with Azerbaijan, Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and other potential suppliers to expand the country's sources of petroleum products, The Caspian Post reports via TASS.

The move is part of a broader strategy to diversify fuel imports and strengthen supply resilience.

The Energy Ministry noted that Kyrgyzstan currently has around one and a half months' worth of gasoline reserves and approximately one month's supply of diesel fuel. At the same time, regular shipments of fuel continue to arrive, and authorities stressed that there is no fuel shortage in the country.

To further enhance domestic supply, the government has instructed the Junda oil refinery to increase gasoline production to 50,000 tonnes per month.

First Deputy Prime Minister Daniyar Amangeldiev also reassured the public that the domestic fuel market remains stable. He said the government is taking all necessary measures to prevent shortages of gasoline, diesel, and aviation fuel.

Kyrgyzstan consumed approximately 1.6 million tonnes of petroleum products in 2025. Following heightened tensions in the Strait of Hormuz and rising global oil prices, the government introduced fuel price subsidies to help keep retail prices stable and protect consumers.
