Nursultan Nazarbayev noted the fruitfulness of negotiations, during which the two leaders discussed issues of bilateral cooperation as well as regional and international agenda.
“Turkey is one of the closest and most reliable political and economic partners of Kazakhstan. Our relationships are based on common historical past and spiritual heritage, and are continuing to rapidly develop. Gradually expanding, our relations have reached the level of strategic partnership. Kazakhstan has always supported and is ready to provide assistance to the brotherly Turkish people. I am sure that this visit will further strengthen bilateral cooperation between our countries,” he said.
The President also said a number of important agreements on cooperation in trade, economic and investment spheres were reached during the negotiations.
“Today more than 1,600 enterprises with the participation of Turkish capital successfully operate in Kazakhstan. Turkish business took an active part in the construction of our new capital. As of today, Turkish companies have accomplished construction works for the total amount of $ 20 billion, having put into operation 460 facilities. Last year the trade turnover between our countries reached $ 2 billion,” he said.
