According to Vadim Smirnov, a member of the board of the Russian-Kyrgyz Development Fund, a single SIM card is expected to contain two digital profiles for Kyrgyzstan and Russia. This will allow users to switch seamlessly between the two countries when crossing the border.

«If you are a Kyrgyz citizen traveling to Russia, there is no need to change your SIM card. One SIM card should have two digital profiles, allowing you to seamlessly switch between the two countries where you are staying,» Smirnov said.

«We believe it is fundamentally important to implement such digital projects that allow us to feel at home in our respective countries, without noticing that we have traveled several thousand kilometers and crossed the state border,» he said.

Earlier, Russian-Kyrgyz Development Fund Chairman Artem Novikov said that Kyrgyzstan and Russia planned to establish a seamless mobile operator. The sides intend to sign the relevant agreement in the near future.
