Kyrgyzstan has formally requested China to accelerate the processing of extradition requests for Kyrgyz nationals currently incarcerated within the Chinese penal system. The request was made during recent interdepartmental consular consultations held in Bishkek between officials from both countries. Kyrgyz representatives emphasized the need for expedited consideration of outstanding extradition applications. Details regarding the specific cases or the number of individuals involved were not disclosed. This move signals Kyrgyzstan’s desire to repatriate its citizens serving sentences abroad. The discussions focused solely on the extradition process and did not address other bilateral issues. Further consultations are anticipated to progress on this matter.
