MOSCOW, September 5 (RIA Novosti) - Kyrgyzstan intends to offer foreign companies the right to develop gold ore deposits in the republic on a tender basis, Kyrgyz President Kurmanbek Bakiyev said Monday at a press conference.
"We intend to openly, on the conditions of a tender, help to attract companies who want to develop gold ore deposits," he said.
Bakiyev said Kyrgyzstan will not separate investors "according to where they come from... the conditions for all investors will be the same."
Revenue from the country's gold should serve the national economy, he said.
