Both parties agreed to enhance political dialogue and cooperation through bilateral consultations and high-level visits. The areas of education, climate change, tourism, security, and collaboration within international organizations were identified as key areas for cooperation in the initial stages of their relationship.
Jeenbek Kulubaev also requested Angola’s support for Kyrgyzstan’s candidacy for non-permanent membership in the UN Security Council for the term 2027-2028. Additionally, he asked for Angola’s support in obtaining observer status for the Kyrgyz Republic in the African Union.
