Meeting with the Minister of Culture, Information, Sports and Youth Policy of Kyrgyzstan Altynbek Maksutov

The Minister of Information and Public Development of Kazakhstan Darkhan Kydyrali met with the Minister of Culture, Information, Sports and Youth Policy of Kyrgyzstan Altynbek Maksutov.

Darkhan Kydyrali noted that several projects are being implemented that unite the two countries and cover various spheres. For example, Kyrgyz TV channels have bought several Kazakh TV series. Production of joint series was also started.

In October 2022, two TV channels of the corporation "Kazakhstan" began broadcasting on the territory of the Kyrgyz Republic: "Qazaqstan International" and "Balapan International". D. Kydyrali noted that in this direction it is possible to create projects common to both sides.

At the same time, Darkhan Kydyrali told about the work related to youth policy in Kazakhstan.

"President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev in his election platform paid special attention to issues related to youth development. Conceptual amendments to the law "On State Youth Policy" have been adopted. One of the main novelties of this law is to increase the age of young people to 35 years," D. Kydyrali said.

Darkhan Kydyrali also proposed to conclude a memorandum between the two ministries for further development of cooperation in the field of mass media.

In turn, Altynbek Maksutov expressed his readiness to contribute to the creation of joint projects in the field of information, youth, and the creative industry.
