Kyrgyzstan creates conditions for diplomats abroad by purchasing buildings for embassies and flats for staff

The state continues to create comfortable conditions for employees of its diplomatic missions abroad by purchasing buildings. This was written on social media by the president's press secretary, Askat Alagozov.

Kyrgyz embassies and missions abroad previously rented buildings and apartments for their staff, which required significant funds from the state budget.

On the instructions of President Sadyr Zhaparov, with the aim of reducing the burden on the state budget and creating comfortable conditions for diplomats working abroad, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is purchasing buildings for the needs of the diplomatic corps and for the accommodation of employees.

Thus, in 2023, a building was purchased for the Kyrgyz embassy in Hungary. In the same year, the Kyrgyz Embassy in France also became the owner of its own building.This year, the Kyrgyz Embassy in South Korea also purchased a building and has already moved there.

Previously, diplomats and their families rented accommodation abroad. Now, official apartments are also being purchased for them.

In 2024, four service apartments were purchased for employees of the Kyrgyz Embassy in Germany, and this year an apartment was purchased for the needs of the Consulate General of Kyrgyzstan in Novosibirsk (Russia).

In 2025, four flats for employees and a residence for the permanent representative were purchased for the Permanent Mission of Kyrgyzstan to the United Nations in New York.
The list of purchased service apartments was also expanded by the Embassies of Kyrgyzstan in the United States and Canada, where four more apartments were purchased for diplomats working there.

Work is currently underway to purchase buildings for the Kyrgyz embassies in Switzerland and Austria.

Previously, renting accommodation for staff abroad cost an average of between S2,500 and S4,500 per month, especially in remote countries.

Office rentals in Europe cost €5,000-6,500 per month.

Now, thanks to the acquisition of buildings, the state will avoid these rental costs. The funds spent on the purchase will pay for themselves in just a few years.

Work in this area is being carried out systematically and pragmatically and will continue actively in the future.
