The Kyrgyz-North America Trade Council, an independent US-based non-profit group, facilitates trade and development of the Kyrgyz market by North American companies by:

• advocating Canadian and U.S. business interests within the Kyrgyz public and private sectors;

• making Canadian and US business views known to the Government and private sector of Kyrgyzstan;

• assuring that these views are given the highest consideration in the formulation of Canadian and US policies towards Kyrgyzstan; and

• facilitating direct contacts between its members and senior Kyrgyz, US and Canadian government and business leaders which assist in the realization of investment and trade through organizing delegations between Kyrgyzstan and North America.
