On October 25-26, 2019, Bishkek, capital of the Kyrgyz Republic, hosted a regional conference titled “Court Decision Enforcement in Commercial Disputes: Achievements, Challenges, and Future Development” for the first time. Over 110 national and international participants shared experiences and conducted an open dialogue at the conference, organized by the Supreme Court of the Kyrgyz Republic, Court Department of the Kyrgyz Republic, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), and the International Development Law Organization (IDLO).

This was the first international conference held in Kyrgyzstan on the theory and practice of court decision enforcement in commercial disputes. A separate session allowed the Supreme Court and the Court Department of the Kyrgyz Republic to establish international contacts and explore opportunities for mutual cooperation and membership in international organizations. A few weeks after the conference, on November 16-17, 2019, an official delegation of the Court Department under the Supreme Court of the Kyrgyz Republic visited Uzbekistan to establish bilateral relations, discuss priority areas for cooperation, and exchange experience on the enforcement of judicial acts, including in commercial matters. The parties signed a memorandum that will encourage them to expand their capabilities.
