Pakistan and Kyrgyzstan have agreed to work together in the fast-growing sectors of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. This decision came after a high-level video conference between Minister of State for Crypto and Blockchain Bilal bin Saqib and Farkhat Iminov, Director of Kyrgyzstan’s National Investment Agency. The discussion focused on exploring joint projects, sharing knowledge, and building stronger digital ties between the two nations.
Both sides expressed strong interest in exchanging experiences and best practices related to virtual assets. They agreed that cooperation between national councils and key institutions could help shape modern and secure frameworks. The officials also stressed the need for better understanding of regulations and innovation in the blockchain space, especially as global interest in digital finance continues to grow.
Bilal bin Saqib highlighted Pakistan’s willingness to partner with Central Asian countries, stating that Islamabad sees great opportunity in working together on crypto policies and blockchain development. He said joint efforts could unlock innovation and help both countries stay ahead in the evolving digital economy. Moreover, he noted that such collaboration could also support the creation of safer and more reliable crypto systems.
On the other hand, Farkhat Iminov pointed out that both countries share similar goals for the future of digital assets. He emphasized the importance of formalizing their plans through a Memorandum of Cooperation. This step, he added, would allow for a structured and ongoing partnership, ensuring steady progress in blockchain and virtual asset development.
As interest in digital finance continues to rise in Central and South Asia, this partnership marks a major step toward regional cooperation. Both Pakistan and Kyrgyzstan reaffirmed their commitment to staying engaged in open dialogue and practical action. They believe working together can help create a secure, innovative, and future-ready environment for virtual technologies.
