But, unfortunately, to this day we have not seen any significant progress in this matter. During the meeting, Kyrgyzstan's position on the activities of the IFAS and its bodies will be detailed. Kyrgyzstan stands for a comprehensive reform of the fund's goal, which is to ensure equal treatment of the interests and urgent needs of all states of Central Asia," Sydykov said. http://kabar.kg/eng/news/what-documents-will-be-signed-during-state-visit-of-jeenbekov-to-turkmenistan/
