There is an annual exchange of delegations between the cadets of the Kyrgyz Republic and India, and the partnership through ITEC is also developing very successfully.

Supporting the statements of the Kyrgyz side about the high efficiency of ITEC training, he expressed his readiness to consider the possibility of expanding cooperation in this direction.

The parties also agreed to make every effort to hold the first meeting of the Working Group on military-technical cooperation between the Kyrgyz Republic and India by the end of 2022.
