Kyrgyz First Deputy Minister of Economy and Commerce Choro Seitov has said that Kyrgyzstan is actively inviting China-based companies to open factories or relocate production to the republic.

Recent visits to China focused on offering local companies the opportunity to set up manufacturing facilities in Kyrgyzstan, particularly in light of U.S. tariffs of 10-50% and above on certain Chinese goods, The Caspian Post reports via Kyrgyz media.

Kyrgyzstan could serve as a strategic hub for exporting products to markets previously supplied directly from China.

The government plans to launch 100 new enterprises in 2026, covering sectors such as construction materials, rubber and plastics, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, automotive, and light industry. These initiatives aim to boost exports and foster deeper industrial cooperation.
