The move by the United States to impose travel restrictions on Kyrgyz citizens is a blow to bilateral relations, Kyrgyzstan's foreign ministry said on Saturday, APA reports citing Reuters.
Washington on Friday added six countries, including Kyrgyzstan, to its list of nations facing travel restrictions, citing security concerns.
Targeting the nation of 6 million did not match Kyrgyzstan’s “understanding of partnership support for a parliamentary democracy” and was not in line with the sides’ commitment to step up cooperation, the Kyrgyz ministry said in a statement.
“We believe that this has dealt significant damage to Kyrgyz-American relations,” it said.
