The state and prospects for the bilateral relations and ways for the development of trade and economic cooperation were discussed at the meeting.  

The parties shared views on pressing issues of the international agenda and efforts on de-escalating the situation in Ukraine.

The President of Kazakhstan emphasised the necessary opportunities for restoration of previous trade and economic indicators for the two countries. 

“According to the CIS free trade zone agreement, we should develop economic relations. An intergovernmental commission will start working between our countries. And you will take part in the work of this commission. We also plan to hold a forum for Kazakh and Ukrainian business circles to find areas of common interest,” Nursultan Nazarbayev stressed.

The head of state emphasised that the people of Kazakhstan are concerned about the situation in Ukraine, wishing a restoration of stability.

Arsenyi Yatsenyuk noted that Ukraine and Kazakhstan maintain and develop a long-term close economic and political relationship.

“We have two main aspects of the development – the trade and energy. We can succeed in these spheres. I am confident that the bilateral economic cooperation will only be strengthened. If we take right and clear decisions aimed to increase the trade turnover, it will be for the benefit of our countries,” the Ukrainian Prime Minister said.
