During a high-level video conference, Pakistan and Kyrgyzstan reached an agreement to develop a joint strategy in the areas of cryptocurrency, blockchain technology, and digital finance.
Bilal Bin Saqib, Pakistan’s Minister of State for Crypto and Blockchain, and Farukht Aminov, Director of Kyrgyzstan’s National Investment Agency, emphasised the importance of sharing knowledge and best practices. Saqib commended Kyrgyzstan’s efforts in shaping regulations for digital assets and proposed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to formalise the partnership, as reported by Cryptopolitan.
The collaboration aims to promote a secure and transparent digital economy across Central and South Asia. This initiative aligns with Pakistan’s recent engagement with the United States, where Saqib met with Bo Hines, the Executive Director of President Trump’s Council of Advisers on Digital Assets, on July 31 to discuss global coordination on cryptocurrency policy.

The meeting followed the unveiling of the U.S. Digital Asset Framework and highlights Pakistan’s ambition to become a regional Web3 hub. This aspiration builds on Saqib’s discussions in June with U.S. lawmakers, including Senators Cynthia Lummis, Tim Sheehy, Rick Scott, and Mayor Eric Adams.
The Pakistan-Kyrgyzstan partnership strengthens regional innovation, with the MoU set to formalise cooperation. Pakistan’s concurrent U.S. collaboration signals a broader push for digital finance leadership, supported by initiatives like the Pakistan Crypto Council. These efforts could enhance economic growth and technological integration.
