Sariyev, born in the northern Kyrgyz province of Chuy in June 1963, was a graduate of economics at Kyrgyz National University.

He served successively as finance minister, minister of economy and anti-monopoly policy, and vice prime minister before taking up the post of prime minister this May, two weeks after his predecessor, Joomart Otorbayev, announced his resignation.

Last month, Kyrgyz President Almazbek Atambayev signed a bill on the reappointment of Sariyev as prime minister of the Central Asian country. Endi
