Қырғызстанның сыртқы қатынастарына шолу
Overview of the foreign relations of Kyrgyzstan
Қырғызстан Кеңес Одағының тарихи мұрасын ескере отырып, Тәуелсіз Мемлекеттер Достастығының басқа мүшелерімен, әсіресе Қазақстан мен Ресеймен тығыз қарым-қатынас орнатып келеді. Түрік тілдері ретінде ортақ мұраларын ескере отырып, Түркиямен де жақын байланыста. Қырғызстан бастапқыда рубль аймағында қалуға ниеттенгенімен, Ресей үкіметінің қатаң талаптары 1993 жылдың мамыр айында Қырғызстанды өз валютасын – сомды енгізуге мәжбүр етті. Қырғызстанның рубль аймағынан шығуы алдын ала ескертусіз жасалды және бастапқыда аймақта жағдайдың шиеленісуіне әкелді. Қазақстан мен Өзбекстан сауданы уақытша тоқтатты, ал Өзбекстан тіпті экономикалық санкцияларға тең келетін шектеулер енгізді. Екі ел де рубльдің көптеп келуінен және инфляцияның артуынан қаушады. Қазақстан мен Өзбекстанның Қырғызстанға деген қарсылығы ұзаққа созылмады, ал үш ел 1994 жылдың қаңтарында экономикалық одақ құру туралы келісімге келді. Бұл келесі айда елдер арасындағы шекаралық шектеулердің жеңілдетілуіне әкелді. Қырғызстан ТМД-ның Тәжікстандағы бейбітшілік сақтау күштеріне де үлес қосты. Түркия аймақтағы мәдени және этникалық байланыстарын пайдалануға тырысып, Қырғызстанның екіжақты қарым-қатынастарды дамытуға құлшынысын байқады. Қырғыз Республикасы оңтүстік көршісі – Қытай Халық Республикасымен сауда-саттық көлемінің айтарлықтай өскенін де көрді. Қырғызстан Өзбекстан және Қазақстан әскерлерімен бірлескен әскери оқу-жаттығулар өткізу сияқты аймақтық ынтымақтастықты дамытуға белсенді қатысып келеді. 1999 жылдың қаңтарында Бішкекте жаңа ЕҚЫҰ кеңсесі ашылды, ал 2000 жылдың 18 ақпанында ЕҚЫҰ Бішкекке жұмысын жүргізуде көмектесу үшін Ош қаласында қосымша кеңсе ашатынын хабарлады. Қырғызстан ЕҚЫҰ, ТМД және Біріккен Ұлттар Ұйымының мүшесі болып табылады.
Kyrgyzstan has close relations with other members of the Commonwealth of Independent States, particularly Kazakhstan and Russia, given the historical legacy of the Soviet Union. It also has close relations with Turkey as well, given their shared heritage as Turkic languages. While Kyrgyzstan was initially determined to stay in the ruble zone, the stringent conditions set forth by the Russian Government prompted Kyrgyzstan to introduce its own currency, the som, in May 1993. Kyrgyzstan's withdrawal from the ruble zone was done with little prior notification and initially caused tensions in the region. Both Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan temporarily suspended trade, and Uzbekistan even introduced restrictions tantamount to economic sanctions. Both nations feared an influx of rubles and an increase in inflation. Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan's hostility toward Kyrgyzstan was short lived, and the three nations signed an agreement in January 1994 creating an economic union. This led to the relaxation of border restrictions between the nations the following month. Kyrgyzstan also has contributed to the CIS peacekeeping forces in Tajikistan. Turkey has sought to capitalize on its cultural and ethnic links to the region and has found Kyrgyzstan receptive to cultivating bilateral relations. The Kyrgyz Republic also has experienced a dramatic increase in trade with the People's Republic of China, its southern neighbor. Kyrgyzstan has been active in furthering regional cooperation, such as joint military exercises with Uzbek and Kazakh troops. In January 1999, a new OSCE office opened in Bishkek; on February 18, 2000, the OSCE announced that an additional office would open in Osh to assist Bishkek in carrying out its work. Kyrgyzstan is a member of the OSCE, the CIS, and the United Nations.

Uzbekistan informs southern Kyrgyzstan both economically and politically, based on the large Uzbek population in that region of Kyrgyzstan and on economic and geographic conditions. Much of Kyrgyzstan depends on Uzbekistan for natural gas; on several occasions, Karimov has achieved political ends by shutting pipelines or by adjusting terms of delivery. In a number of television appearances broadcast in the Osh and Jalal Abad provinces of Kyrgyzstan, Karimov has addressed Akayev with considerable condescension; Akayev, in turn, has been highly deferential to his neighbor. Although Uzbekistan has not shown overt expansionist tendencies, the Kyrgyz government is acutely aware of the implications of Karimov's assertions that he is responsible for the well being of all Uzbeks, regardless of their nation of residence.

Қырғыз Республикасымен саяси байланыстар дәстүрлі түрде жылы және достық қарым-қатынаста болды. Қырғызстан басшылары Үндістанның Кашмир мәселесі бойынша ұстанымын қолдап, бітімгершілік процесін құптайды. Қырғызстан сонымен қатар Үндістанның Біріккен Ұлттар Ұйымының Қауіпсіздік Кеңесіне тұрақты орын алуын және Шанхай ынтымақтастық ұйымында (ШЫҰ) Үндістанның рөлін қолдайды.

Ол шетелдік тілдерді (егерде ағылшын тілінде болса) оқыту, әскери медицина және БҰҰ-ның бейбітшілік миссиясына дайындықты ынтымақтастық салалары ретінде атап өтті. Қараңыз Иран–Қырғызстан қатынастары

Uzbekistan informs southern Kyrgyzstan both economically and politically, based on the large Uzbek population in that region of Kyrgyzstan and on economic and geographic conditions. Much of Kyrgyzstan depends on Uzbekistan for natural gas; on several occasions, Karimov has achieved political ends by shutting pipelines or by adjusting terms of delivery. In a number of television appearances broadcast in the Osh and Jalal Abad provinces of Kyrgyzstan, Karimov has addressed Akayev with considerable condescension; Akayev, in turn, has been highly deferential to his neighbor. Although Uzbekistan has not shown overt expansionist tendencies, the Kyrgyz government is acutely aware of the implications of Karimov's assertions that he is responsible for the well being of all Uzbeks, regardless of their nation of residence.
Басқа Орталық Азия республикалары кейде Ресейдің араласуына шағымданса, Қырғызстан Мәскеуден көбірек назар және қолдау тіледі.

Uzbekistan informs southern Kyrgyzstan both economically and politically, based on the large Uzbek population in that region of Kyrgyzstan and on economic and geographic conditions. Much of Kyrgyzstan depends on Uzbekistan for natural gas; on several occasions, Karimov has achieved political ends by shutting pipelines or by adjusting terms of delivery. In a number of television appearances broadcast in the Osh and Jalal Abad provinces of Kyrgyzstan, Karimov has addressed Akayev with considerable condescension; Akayev, in turn, has been highly deferential to his neighbor. Although Uzbekistan has not shown overt expansionist tendencies, the Kyrgyz government is acutely aware of the implications of Karimov's assertions that he is responsible for the well being of all Uzbeks, regardless of their nation of residence.
