Since 1995 he has served in a variety of positions of increasing importance within the Kyrgyz foreign service. He began as Second Secretary in the Department for Economic Cooperation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and was transferred in 1996 as Counsellor to the Kyrgyz embassy in Turkey. From 1998 to 1999 he was head of the Kyrgyz consular agency in Germany, and from 1999 to 2001 deputy head of the Foreign Policy Department and Head of the Protocol Service in the Office of the President of Kyrgyzstan. In 2001 he was appointed Director for Economic Research at the Secretariat of the Economic Cooperation Organization, domiciled in Turkey. In 2005 he returned to Bishkek, where he briefly served as Assistant to the President of Kyrgyzstan and simultaneously again as Head of the Protocol Service, before being promoted to the position of Deputy Chief of Staff and Head of the Foreign Policy Department in the President's office, where he served from 2005 to 2007.

His subsequent postings were all ambassadorial, often holding multiple assignments simultaneously. He was Kyrgyz ambassador to Turkey from 2011 to 2014, then ambassador to Austria as well as Resident Representative of Kyrgyzstan to the United Nations, the IAEA and the OSCE in Vienna.[2] From 2015 onward he was concurrently also ambassador to Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary.
