History and Achievements
The history of the postal service of Kyrgyzstan dates back to the foundations of the Russian Empire and the USSR. 145 years ago, the first post office was opened in Pishpek, which played a key role in ensuring communication between remote regions and central cities.
Since gaining independence in 1991, Kyrgyzstan’s postal service has undergone significant changes. In 1993, the country became a full member of the Universal Postal Union, which helped establish international postal connections. In 1994, the state department “Kyrgyz Post” was created, marking an important step in the development of an independent postal organization.
Modernization
Since the early 2000s, the country’s postal service has undergone significant modernization, including the introduction of information technologies and logistics optimization. In 2013, “Kyrgyz Post” became part of the Postal Union of the Eurasian Economic Union, opening new horizons for international postal exchanges.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, postal employees continued to perform their duties, delivering pensions and allowances, as well as subscriptions to newspapers and magazines, demonstrating the dedication of postal workers during difficult times.
JSC “Kyrgyz Post”
Since 2022, “Kyrgyz Post” has been operating as a joint-stock company, ensuring full self-sufficiency and providing socially significant services. Today, it is not only postal offices but also a developed infrastructure that contributes to economic growth and adapts to digital challenges.
In 2023, the company achieved significant success, rising from 98th to 29th place in the global postal development ranking among World Postal Union member countries. The opening of foreign warehouses and a “green corridor” for the expedited movement of postal items between Kyrgyzstan and China demonstrates the dynamic development of the company.
The CEO of JSC “Kyrgyz Post,” Marat Cherikchiev, expressed gratitude to all employees working in the company, emphasizing that it is their work and dedication that make “Kyrgyz Post” successful and in demand.
