Marlen Mamataliev, Speaker of the Kyrgyz Jogorku Kenesh, met Eisuke Mori, Speaker of the House of Representatives of the Japanese Parliament, in Tokyo on 23 October, the first day of his official visit to Japan. Kyrgyz deputies also took part in the meeting.

The sides discussed Kyrgyz-Japanese cooperation, strengthening ties between the two parliaments, and expanding trade, economic, cultural and humanitarian relations. Mamataliev cited President Sadyr Japarov's official visit to Japan in December 2025 and the first Central Asia + Japan summit as new momentum for bilateral ties. He highlighted Japanese-supported projects in transport, healthcare, agriculture, water supply and training, and thanked Japan and JICA. He also noted the JDS programme, whose 20th anniversary is marked this year.

Mori said parliaments play an important role alongside intergovernmental cooperation and expressed confidence that the visit would deepen ties.
