With a relatively new history of membership at the Eurasian Economic Union, Kyrgyzstan believes that joining the Russia-backed economic club has garnered confidence in the nation’s economic stability.

Kyrgyz President Almazbek Atambayev, who is the primary supporter of his country's accession to union, believes that Kyrgyzstan's EEU membership will take the food security issue off the table.

"The urgency of food security issues was removed with the accession to the Eurasian Economic Union. It is not necessary to worry as in the past about whether we will have enough wheat, we can import grain to the country, and bread will be on the table of our citizens," he said on August 31 during a speech for Kyrgyzstan’s Independence Day, RIA Novosti reported.
