For the first time in its history, Kyrgyzstan has been elected as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council for the 2027–2028 term.
The UN Security Council has 15 members: five permanent members with veto power — China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States — and ten non-permanent members elected by the General Assembly for two-year terms.
On June 3, the UN General Assembly elected five new non-permanent members of the Security Council for 2027–2028: Austria, Portugal, Zimbabwe, Trinidad and Tobago, and Kyrgyzstan.
President Sadyr Japarov thanked UN countries for their support of Kyrgyzstan’s candidacy for non-permanent membership on the UN Security Council.
According to Japarov, Kyrgyzstan views this victory as a sign of great trust from the international community, as well as a great responsibility to all Member States of the United Nations.
Japarov stated that during its membership in the United Nations Security Council, the Kyrgyz Republic intends to consistently promote priorities aimed at strengthening international peace and security, preventing conflicts, developing preventive diplomacy, supporting peaceful settlement of disputes, enhancing the role of small and developing States in the international system, and taking into account climate, water, mountain and environmental challenges in the context of global security.
