Putin surprises at Kyrgyz summit with a rare komuz performance
Russian President Vladimir Putin made an unexpected appearance as a musician during his state visit to Kyrgyzstan. At a cultural event tied to the CSTO summit in Bishkek, he tried his hand at playing the komuz, a traditional Kyrgyz instrument. The moment stood out as a rare light-hearted break in a gathering focused on serious security talks.
The CSTO summit in Bishkek brought together leaders from six nations: Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan. Discussions centred on defence coordination and regional challenges. Against this backdrop, a cultural presentation offered a brief change of tone.
Putin’s brief attempt at the komuz added a personal touch to the summit’s agenda. The event otherwise remained focused on security cooperation among CSTO member states. No further details about the musical performance have been confirmed.
