According to preliminary data, representatives from about 100 countries have confirmed participation, reflecting high international interest in the event, reports the internet portal ‘MIR24’.
The opening ceremony is scheduled in Bishkek, and the main competitions will take place at venues in the Issyk-Kul region. Organizers emphasize that attention will be focused on demonstrating the cultural heritage of the Kyrgyz people and the traditions of nomadic civilization.
It is expected that the event will receive active coverage by foreign media: more than 500 journalists from 56 countries will arrive. For comparison, at the previous Games, accreditation was received by about 600 representatives of international media. The program includes 43 types of competitions, including equestrian disciplines, archery, national games, hunting with birds of prey, and intellectual contests.
The World Nomad Games remain one of the largest platforms for promoting ethno-cultural heritage and strengthening intercultural dialogue in the region.
