Modi and Atambayev discussed the full range of issues covering friendly cooperation, bilateral relations, and the regional and international situation. The leaders reviewed the status of the agreements reached by the two countries following the visit of Prime Minister Modi to Kyrgyzstan last year. They expressed satisfaction with the achievements in bilateral relations. 

“Guided by the common desire to improve the level of the Kyrgyz-Indian relations, the two sides reiterated that India and the Kyrgyz Republic are democratic countries and partners sharing common fundamental values such as freedom, democracy, human rights, and the rule of law,” a joint statement said. 

Reaffirming their commitment to strengthen cooperation in all spheres of life on the basis of mutual respect, the two sides agreed to work in close cooperation for peace and prosperity of the peoples of the two countries.
