Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov signed a decree on November 6 establishing a Kyrgyz consulate general in Andijan, with its consular district covering three provinces in eastern Uzbekistan.
The consulate will serve citizens of Kyrgyzstan by protecting their rights and legitimate interests and providing consular services, according to the decree published on Kyrgyzstan’s legal information portal.
Its jurisdiction will extend to Andijan, Fergana and Namangan provinces.
The new diplomatic mission is also intended to create more favourable conditions for citizens and expand economic and cultural cooperation between the two countries.
Japarov announced plans to establish the consulate in Andijan in July 2026, during a state visit by President Shavkat Mirziyoyev.
At the time, Japarov said the move would facilitate travel between the countries and support the development of trade, tourism, cultural and humanitarian ties, as well as cooperation between border provinces.
The establishment of the consulate follows the two presidents' discussions on strengthening bilateral relations and expanding practical cooperation.
