Fact Check
The evidence strongly supports the statement. A highly relevant and authoritative source, Times of Central Asia, directly confirms that Changpeng Zhao (CZ) attended the inaugural meeting of the national council and was appointed as a public adviser to the President during the event. This directly validates the core claim that he was involved in such a meeting. This is corroborated by several other sources, including an official post on Binance's own platform and an industry news publication, which confirm that a high-level partnership was formalized during the 'inaugural meeting of the Council for the Development of Digital Assets'. Furthermore, multiple sources report on specific proposals made by CZ for Kyrgyzstan's national crypto reserve, which strongly implies his direct participation in governmental policy discussions that would occur at such a committee meeting. The slight variations in the name of the committee across sources ('National Blockchain Committee' vs. 'Council for the Development of Digital Assets' vs. 'National Council for the Development of Virtual Assets and Blockchain Technologies') are considered minor and likely refer to the same governmental body. While the statement uses the present tense 'is scheduled', the evidence confirms the event has already happened, which logically means it was scheduled to occur. There is no conflicting evidence among the relevant sources.
Summary

Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) highlighted that Kyrgyzstan’s national stablecoin is now operational on BNB Chain, accompanied by a central bank digital currency designed for government transactions. The country has established a crypto reserve containing BNB, localized the Binance App for Kyrgyz language users, and hosted a large event in Bishkek with over 1,000 attendees. These developments coincide with CZ’s scheduled participation in Kyrgyzstan’s National Blockchain and Cryptocurrency Committee's second meeting with President Sadyr Japarov, reflecting accelerated progress in the nation's blockchain initiatives.
