A program is prepared for Kyrgyzstan's joining the Customs Union (CU) established by Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan, the executive secretary of CU commission Sergey Glazyev said. The program describes actions needed for Kyrgyzstan's entrance to the CU, KyrTAG reports.

"The CU will establish a task group in this regard in a meeting of intergovernmental council," he said.

Glazyev added Tajikistan's joining the union is possible only after Kyrgyzstan's, because then the country and union will have a common border.

The Kyrgyz government made a strategic decision about Kyrgyzstan's joining to the CU in spring of 2011.
