Today, on August 13, the head of the National Investment Agency under the President of the Kyrgyz Republic, Ravshanbek Sabirov, met with representatives of the Inner Mongolia Grassland Culture Protection and Development Fund, as well as the Hong Kong Jockey Club.
During the meeting, the representatives of the Fund and the Hong Kong Jockey Club presented their initiative to establish an International Equestrian Sports Complex in Kyrgyzstan. The project includes the establishment of an international-level racetrack, training facilities and stables, veterinary and breeding-genetic centers, a hotel, a museum of Kyrgyz horse breeding history, and relevant infrastructure.
The complex is preliminarily planned to be located on approximately 70 hectares of land. The project includes grandstands designed for 30,000 spectators, the capacity to accommodate up to 3,000 horses, and a hotel with over 500 rooms.
"Horse breeding and equestrian culture hold a special place in the historical and cultural heritage of the Kyrgyz people. At the same time, it is necessary to carefully develop the proposed initiative, taking into account its economic feasibility and the requirements of the laws of the Kyrgyz Republic,"

The complex is expected to facilitate the holding of international competitions, exhibitions of thoroughbred horses, and auctions, as well as promote equestrian sports, thoroughbred horse breeding, and tourism.
As a result of the meeting, the parties agreed to continue developing the project, including preparing the technical-economic justification, determining the land plot, and developing the investment model.
