Kyrgyzstan wants to join trilateral customs union

Kyrgyzstan considers joining a customs union formed by Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus. Commenting on the issue at a press conference in the Kazakh capital Astana, the Kyrgyz Ambassador to Kazakhstan Dzhanysh Rustembekov, admitted that it wouldn’t be easy as all customs tariffs need to be coordinated. He reiterated his country’s proposal to host bases of the Collective Security Treaty Organization and hopes an agreement to that end will be reached at an upcoming informal CSTO summit on Lake Issyk Kul on August 1-2.
