to once again analyze progress and explore new areas of collaboration. In turn,
Shoigu thanked the President for the opportunity to discuss current issues of
regional security.
«Economic cooperation between our countries
is also developing successfully. We have reached agreements on 171 projects,
and more than 50 projects have already reached the final stage of
implementation. Russia is now one of the main investors in the Kazakh economy.
I think that cooperation between our states in law enforcement and defense is
also progressing,» Tokayev said.
«The relations that have developed between
our fraternal peoples, between our countries, are consistently upheld at a very
high level. The volume of our trade and joint projects is impressive. Of
course, our interaction is not limited to bilateral cooperation. We are
actively working within the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, CSTO, CIS, and
EAEU. The projects initiated by Kazakhstan, among others, are successfully and
actively developing,» Shoigu noted.
