Kyrgyzstan has launched negotiations with several countries on potential fuel deliveries to the republic, the country’s Energy Ministry told TASS.
“As part of efforts to diversify supplies, negotiations are being held with several states,” a ministry representative said. According to the official, Kyrgyzstan is currently exploring the possibility of importing fuel from Russia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and other countries.
The representative noted that the country’s current gasoline reserves are sufficient for approximately one and a half months, while diesel stocks are expected to last for about one month. At the same time, various fuel shipments continue to arrive in the country, and there is currently no fuel shortage.
In addition, the Kyrgyz authorities have instructed the local refinery Zhongda to increase gasoline production to 50,000 tonnes per month.
Meanwhile, First Deputy Prime Minister Daniyar Amangeldiev told Kyrgyz outlet 24.kg that the situation on the country’s fuel market remains stable and that the government is taking the necessary measures to prevent shortages of gasoline, diesel fuel, and aviation kerosene.
Kyrgyzstan consumed 1.6 million tonnes of petroleum products in 2025. Following heightened tensions in the Strait of Hormuz and rising global oil prices, the government introduced fuel subsidies to prevent increases in retail fuel prices.
