BISHKEK -- US Agency for International Development (USAID) officials visited Bishkek in an effort to reach a US-Kyrgyz Bilateral Co-operation Agreement (BCA), the US embassy in Bishkek said in a statement Wednesday (April 24).
USAID's James Kelleher and Gary Linden, accompanied by US Embassy Political/Economic Counsellor Thomas Selinger, conferred with a Kyrgyz government delegation on major goals of the agreement Monday-Tuesday (April 22-23).
Presidents Donald Trump and Sooronbay Jeenbekov have stated their desire to conclude a mutually acceptable BCA.
US assistance to Kyrgyzstan since the Central Asian country gained independence in 1991 has benefited its economic development, military and counter-terrorism efforts.
Of course! Don't hold your breath. The former treaty signed in 1993 has demonstrated their real goals. Their democracy meant two revolutions in our country. We need our own way.
