Обзор внешних отношений Кыргызстана
Overview of the foreign relations of Kyrgyzstan
Кыргызстан поддерживает тесные отношения с другими членами Содружества Независимых Государств, в особенности с Казахстаном и Россией, учитывая историческое наследие Советского Союза. Также у Кыргызстана сложились тесные отношения с Турцией, обусловленные их общим тюркским наследием. Изначально Кыргызстан был настроен на сохранение в рублевой зоне, однако жесткие условия, выдвинутые российским правительством, побудили Кыргызстан ввести собственную валюту – сом – в мае 1993 года. Выход Кыргызстана из рублевой зоны был произведен без предварительного уведомления и первоначально вызвал напряженность в регионе. Казахстан и Узбекистан временно приостановили торговлю, а Узбекистан даже ввел ограничения, эквивалентные экономическим санкциям. Обе страны опасались притока рублей и роста инфляции. Неприязнь Узбекистана и Казахстана к Кыргызстану была кратковременной, и в январе 1994 года эти три страны подписали соглашение о создании экономического союза. Это привело к смягчению пограничного контроля между странами в следующем месяце. Кыргызстан также принимал участие в миротворческих силах СНГ в Таджикистане. Турция стремится использовать свои культурные и этнические связи в регионе и нашла в Кыргызстане готовность к развитию двусторонних отношений. Кыргызская Республика также наблюдала значительный рост торговли с Китайской Народной Республикой, своим южным соседом. Кыргызстан активно содействует региональному сотрудничеству, в том числе посредством проведения совместных военных учений с узбекскими и казахскими войсками. В январе 1999 года в Бишкеке открылся новый офис ОБСЕ, а 18 февраля 2000 года ОБСЕ объявила об открытии дополнительного офиса в Оше для оказания помощи Бишкеку в реализации его задач. Кыргызстан является членом ОБСЕ, СНГ и Организации Объединенных Наций.
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.

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.

С момента обретения независимости Кыргызской Республики 31 августа 1991 года Индия была одной из первых стран, установивших двусторонние дипломатические отношения 18 марта 1992 года; резидентная миссия Индии была создана в 1994 году. Политические связи с Кыргызской Республикой традиционно теплые и дружественные. Руководство Кыргызстана в значительной степени поддерживает позицию Индии по Кашмиру и приветствует продолжающийся мирный процесс. Кыргызстан также поддерживает заявку Индии на постоянное место в Совете Безопасности Организации Объединенных Наций и роль Индии в Шанхайской организации сотрудничества (ШОС). Индия также имеет прочные образовательные связи с этой страной. Министр обороны Омуралиев был в восторге от перспектив военного сотрудничества в интервью радио Свободная Европа в сентябре 2013 года. "Многие скептически относятся к тому, что Кыргызстан и Индия не могут иметь взаимных интересов в военных отношениях, но у нас было очень тесное партнерство в сфере обороны". Он указал на обучение иностранному языку (предположительно английскому), военную медицину и подготовку к миротворческим миссиям Организации Объединенных Наций в качестве конкретных областей сотрудничества.

В то время как другие центральноазиатские республики иногда жаловались на вмешательство России, Кыргызстан чаще желал большего внимания и поддержки со стороны Москвы, чем мог получить. Несмотря на всю финансовую поддержку, которую мировое сообщество оказывало, Кыргызстан остается экономически зависимым от России как напрямую, так и через Казахстан. В начале 1995 года Аскар Акаев, тогдашний президент Кыргызстана, попытался продать российским компаниям акции в двадцати девяти крупнейших промышленных предприятиях республики, предложение, которое Россия отклонила. 1998 г. Обе страны установили дипломатические отношения в 1998 г. В 2011 году общая стоимость торговли составила 3,5 млн евро.
