He began his professional career as the Attaché of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kyrgyz Republic.

He returned to Bishkek in 2008 to briefly serve as Head of the Department of Multilateral Cooperation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Later that year, he would leave the country again to become the Counselor at the Embassy of Kyrgyzstan in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan.
