    What awaits Kyrgyzstan in 2025: From artificial glaciers to "Squid Game"

    The year 2025 began with some challenging news: metapneumovirus in China, fires in Los Angeles, the arrest of the president of South Korea and earthquakes in Mexico, Tibet and Sochi. However, "Akchabar" decided to highlight the positive events that await us this year.

    Artificial glaciers in Kyrgyzstan

    The Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers — Minister of Water Resources, Agriculture and Processing Industry, Bakyt Torobaev, instructed local authorities to create artificial glaciers. This initiative will help improve the condition of pastures and provide water to arid lands.

    Such projects are already being implemented in the villages of Sumbul in Leilek district, Kaindy and Gaz in Batken district. Over the past 30 to 40 years, rising temperatures have exacerbated drought conditions, but artificial glaciers could provide a solution to this problem.

    The Tax Service cancels inspections for large businesses

    From 20 January, the central office of the State Tax Service no longer conducts on-site inspections. This new measure, particularly significant for large businesses, will simplify and enhance transparency in interactions with tax authorities.

    Waste will be recycled into energy

    Kyrgyzstan plans to open an eco-technological plant to process waste and generate electricity by the end of 2025. The plant will be capable of processing up to 1,000 tons of waste per day, producing up to 460 MW of electricity. The project, with Chinese investments amounting to $95 million, will be the first of its kind in Central Asia.

    Salaries for imams

    From spring 2025, imams of mosques in Kyrgyzstan will begin receiving a salary of 8,000 KGS. By the end of the year, payments may increase to 20,000 KGS. Funding will come from alternative sources, without impacting the state budget.

    Cultural events and anticipated premieres

    In 2025, we can look forward to the third seasons of the series "Squid Game" and "The White Lotus", the fifth season of "Stranger Things", the second season of "Wednesday", and the movie "Avatar 3". Additionally, the highly anticipated release of the game GTA 6 will also take place.

    Opening of the Airport in Naryn

    In May 2025, Asman Airlines will begin regular flights to all regions of the country. The opening of a new airport in Naryn is also expected.

    40 new tourist bases

    In 2025, Kyrgyzstan plans to open 40 tourist bases that will be located throughout the country. These bases will provide new opportunities for tourists and promote the development of tourism in various regions of the country. Specifically, 40 bases are planned for Issyk-Kul, 34 for Naryn, 29 for Jalal-Abad, 23 for Osh, 7 for Batken, 10 for Talas and 13 for Chui provinces. The opening of these facilities is expected to create additional jobs and help stimulate the economies of local communities.

    Greening Bishkek

    $7.1 million has been allocated for the greening of the city. It is planned to plant 10,000 to 15,000 seedlings, as well as to restore irrigation systems.

    The largest golf club in Central Asia

    A 65-hectare golf club will be completed on the shores of Issyk-Kul. The project will become an important attraction for tourists and sports enthusiasts.

    New arena of the Dolon Omurzakov stadium

    In Bishkek, the construction of the small sports arena at the Omurzakov Stadium is nearing completion. It will accommodate 5,000 spectators and meet international standards.

    Kyrgyzstan's chairmanship in three organisations

    In 2025, Kyrgyzstan will chair three key organizations: the CSTO, the SCO and the OTS. Additionally, efforts are underway to promote the country's candidacy for non-permanent membership in the UN Security Council.
