It’s Official! China’s Social Insurance Deal with This Country

On October 14, 2025, the Agreement on Social Insurance between the Government of the People’s Republic of China and the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic officially came into effect.
Under the agreement, Kyrgyzstan will exempt Chinese personnel—including dispatched employees, self-employed individuals, crew members on ships and aircraft, staff of international transport enterprises, government officials, and members of diplomatic missions and consulates—from the obligation to participate in Kyrgyz pension, disability, and survivor insurance programs. In turn, China will exempt Kyrgyz personnel in the corresponding categories from the obligation to participate in China’s basic pension insurance for urban employees and basic pension insurance for urban and rural residents.
The implementation of this agreement will effectively safeguard the social security rights and interests of employees working in each other’s countries, reduce social insurance costs for enterprises and individuals on both sides, and further promote bilateral economic and trade relations as well as the movement of people between China and Kyrgyzstan.
China has previously signed similar bilateral social insurance agreements with 12 other countries, including Germany, the Republic of Korea, Denmark, Finland, Canada, Switzerland, the Netherlands, France, Spain, Luxembourg, Japan, and Serbia.
