Courting the West: Meeting Economic Development Challenges
In Central Asia’s Only Parliamentary Democracy

At the risk of increasing tensions with Moscow, the Kyrgyz Republic – more commonly known as Kyrgyzstan – is seeking help from the West to stabilize its economy in the wake of years of ethnic clashes, revolts, transitional governments and political party conflicts. Despite its troubles, the country maintains a unitary parliamentary republic, unique among the nations of Central Asia.

Kyrgyz First Deputy Prime Minister Djoomart Otorbaev will discuss his country’s economic development challenges and its quest for Western assistance at a National Press Club Newsmaker news conference at noon on Friday, April 19 in the club’s Zenger Room on the 13th Floor of the National Press Building, 529 14th St. NW, Washington DC 20045.
