He noted at the beginning of the year, Kazakhstan applied some restrictions to Kyrgyzstan and introduced enhanced border controls.
"There has been some decline in exports during this period, but we have held bilateral meetings and there are changes in this issue. Also, the decrease in exports is mainly due to a decrease in exports of light and textile products by 33.4%, of which clothing and accessories - 1.7 times, shoes - by 41.5%, as well as electric incandescent lamps - by 38%, various parts and accessories to vehicles - by 16%. But we see that production in the country is growing, and the decline in textile exports is associated with a decline in re-exports from China,” Alisherov added.
