Two international exhibitions, Kyrgyzstan Expo 2026 and Expo Eurasia Kyrgyzstan 2026, opened on October 15 at the Zhashtyk Arena in Bishkek, according to the Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCI). The business event brought together entrepreneurs, manufacturers, investors and members of the diplomatic corps from various countries.

Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers Erlist Akunbekov and CCI President Temir Sariev attended the opening ceremony. Akunbekov said the Cabinet of Ministers supports entrepreneurship, international economic ties and a favorable business environment. Sariev likened the exhibition to an autumn harvest and said it has grown significantly compared with last year. Spanning over 4,000 square meters, it features about 100 companies from Russia, China, Turkiye, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Japan and the Republic of Korea.

Sariev proposed making Kyrgyzstan Expo an annual event, aiming to turn it into the country's primary international exhibition platform, and urged Cabinet of Ministers representatives to support the initiative. The exhibition runs from October 15 to 17.
