Education

The education sector has been recognised as a potential field for furthering the bilateral cooperation between Bangladesh and Kyrgyzstan. Kyrgyzstan has shown interest in providing scholarships to Bangladeshi students who intend to pursue higher education.[2]

Culture

Bangladesh and Kyrgyzstan have identified cultural cooperation as an important way of expanding their bilateral ties. In 2014, a memorandum of understanding was signed between the two countries to organise the Days of Culture of Kyrgyzstan in Bangladesh, with the roles reversing in 2015.[3]

Economy

Bangladesh and Kyrgyzstan have both shown a strong interest in expanding bilateral economic activities.[4] Bangladesh has shown interest in importing cotton in bulk from Kyrgyzstan for its textile industry.[5] Ready-made garments, pharmaceuticals, and agricultural products have been identified as potential sectors to increase bilateral trade and investment.[6] The jewelry industry is also promising.[7]

In 2013, a Bangladeshi trade delegation, led by former commerce secretary Mahbub Ahmed, visited Kyrgyzstan to explore potential ways for increasing bilateral trade and investment.[8][9] The imposition of double taxation has been identified as a hurdle to the expansion of bilateral trade.[10]
