"Our Kyrgyz partners are interested in attracting technologies, Russian manufacturers and investors to their economy. This is a global trend for goods such as cars, trucks, agricultural machinery, and transport machinery. Partner countries are interested in localizing products and often even set conditions for the sale of goods on the market. We are currently discussing such a pilot localization project with one of the manufacturers of passenger cars," he explained to Izvestia.

According to him, these may be taxi cars, or it may be a natural replacement for right-hand drive vehicles, which are numerous in Kyrgyzstan.
