The Secretariat of the Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia (CICA) organized a traditional bicycle ride on June 3 in Burabay National Park, with almost 80 participants. The event aimed to enhance understanding, cooperation, and exchange among people and states, coinciding with World Bicycle Day declared by the United Nations (UN) General Assembly. Participants were offered two distances of 19 and 38 kilometers along the Burabay Lake cycle path. The Kazakh Foreign Ministry Deputy Foreign Minister, Roman Vassilenko, and other ministry representatives took part in the event. CICA Secretary General, Kairat Sarybay, emphasized that such informal meetings contribute to strengthening trust and friendly relations among the diplomatic corps. According to Sarybay, a walking tour with the diplomatic corps organized by Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan is expected to strengthen cross-border cooperation between the two Central Asian states, and promote tourism and investment opportunities. The tour will start at Kolsai Lake in the Almaty Region on July 19 and finish at Issyk-Kul Lake in Kyrgyzstan on July 24.

In addition to health and environmental benefits, cycling offers an opportunity to bond and forge stronger international ties, according to participants. UN Resident Coordinator for Kazakhstan, Michaela Friberg-Storey, noted that cycling contributes to preserving the environment while highlighting that CICA embodies the commitment of countries to multilateralism, peace, international security, and development. Tajikistan’s Ambassador to Kazakhstan, Khayrullo Ibodzoda, emphasized that sport, along with promoting a healthy human lifestyle, can play a role in strengthening friendship and cooperation among people and countries worldwide. The bicycle rally is an example of promoting a healthy lifestyle and the tourist potential of the Burabay resort, according to Aset Muzdybaev, akim (governor) of the Akmola Region’s Burabay district.
