PARCEL DELIVERY AND COURIER SERVICES TO KYRGYZSTAN
Stunning mountainscapes, dramatic peaks, glistening glaciers and alpine lakes make up this Central Asian country. And, it’s that same rugged natural beauty and the magnificent Tien Shan mountain range that has helped preserve the country’s rich, multicultural heritage and semi-nomadic traditions. Kyrgyzstan sits at the crossroads of several great civilizations and has played a significant role in the Silk Road and other cultural routes. The country has undergone the inhabitance of many tribes and clans, as well as foreign rule – and despite this, it has maintained is customs and traditions. Most of Kyrgyzstan was annexed to Russia in 1876. It became a Soviet republic in 1936 and, in 1991, gained independence after the dismantling of the Soviet Union. Kyrgyzstan’s economy is dependent on the agricultural production of cotton, tobacco, wool, meat and other products as well as mineral extraction. Cotton and tobacco are the only agricultural exports, while gold, mercury uranium and natural gas account for most mineral exports. Foreign investment will greatly improve Kyrgyzstan’s economy and while some British companies already have a presence in the country, recent years have given way to more opportunities for UK businesses and the demand for more widespread courier services to Kyrgyzstan.
