Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan are making it easier for their citizens to cross the border, the press service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kyrgyzstan said.
Relevant amendments were made to the intergovernmental agreement on mutual trips of citizens, signed in October 2006. The exchange of protocols on amendments to this document took place during the visit of Shavkat Mirziyoyev to Bishkek on January 27.
According to the protocol, from September 1, citizens of the two countries can use ID-cards (without presenting an international passport) for entry, exit, transit, movement and stay on the territory of the two states, along with other travel documents.
As previously reported, information about citizens crossing the border will be recorded electronically, so there will be no need to stamp passports.
Kyrgyzstan has become the first country with which Uzbekistan establishes the procedure for crossing the border using ID-cards.
