People seem much more relaxed in Kyrgyzstan than in other places where I have lived - Swiss Ambassador Olivier Bangerter

Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Swiss Confederation, Dr Olivier Bangerter in an interview with AKIpress spoke about current relations with Kyrgyzstan, projects, gold and family. “We realise that with climate change there will be more floods, more droughts, etc.,” said the ambassador. “We are starting two projects. One is to support the World Food Program here and the Ministry of Emergency Situations. The other is the Naryn Urban Resilience Project (NURP). Together with the Aga Khan Foundation, we help the city of Naryn. I think this project is being implemented successfully.”
