A new state enterprise "Asker Service" has been established in Kyrgyzstan, which will serve as a single operator for armament issues. The decree on the reorganization of the departmental structures of the Ministry of Defense was signed by Adylbek Kasymaliev, the chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers.
As a result of the reorganization, the state enterprise "Kyrgyzkorgooservis" was renamed to "Asker Service" and received expanded powers. It will now act as the official intermediary for all export-import and re-export operations involving military, dual-use, and special-purpose products. This enterprise will handle internal procurement of armaments, military equipment, ammunition, and special gear for the needs of the Armed Forces of Kyrgyzstan and other armed formations, as well as address issues related to the development of the defense industry, the implementation of innovative technologies, and import substitution programs.
In addition, the new state enterprise will meet the trade and consumer needs of military personnel and their families living in garrisons and military towns.
To improve the financial situation of the Ministry of Defense, it has been instructed to allocate funds to pay off the debts of the reorganized departmental enterprises.
