<p>We are monitoring political developments in Kyrgyzstan following the arrest of
former President Atambayev. There have been limited incidents of violence and unrest.
We believe that it is important for the United Kingdom to continue to maintain its
support, through our political engagement and programme activity, for Kyrgyzstan's
ambition to strengthen democracy and the rule of law. Our Ambassador frequently engages
with the Kyrgyz Government, stressing the importance of democratic standards and a
free and fair judicial system for all. The United Kingdom's programme funding also
works to support Kyrgyzstan's continued transition to a parliamentary democracy.</p>
