Kazakhstan and
Mongolia intend to deepen their trade and economic cooperation. This was
discussed during a meeting between representatives of the two countries’
foreign ministries in Ulaanbaatar. The parties outlined specific measures to
implement the agreements reached by the leaders of Kazakhstan and Mongolia,
namely, increasing mutual trade turnover to $500 million. They also agreed to
develop a partnership in agriculture. Kazakhstan is set to begin supplying
veterinary vaccines to Mongolia, with plans to establish local production in
the future. Additionally, Kazakhstan is ready to increase exports of
agricultural machinery, wheat, and other grain crops, with special focus on a
major joint project.
«Kazakhstan plans to implement a pilot project
to purchase 500,000 goats from Mongolia. We view this initiative as the
beginning of a joint project focused on advanced livestock processing and the
development of export-oriented production cooperation. In addition, I informed
my colleague of our readiness to provide support in training specialists in the
fields of e-government implementation and space exploration,» said Kazakh
Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Murat Nurtleu.
Kazakhstan is set to foster
cooperation with Mongolia in the mining sector. Kazakh Foreign Minister Murat
Nurtleu emphasized that companies willing to implement joint investment
projects will receive comprehensive support. In turn, the Mongolian Minister of
Foreign Affairs noted that the two sides agreed to strengthen cooperation in agriculture
and transportation.
«As part of expanding bilateral partnership,
an agreement was reached to work jointly on removing existing obstacles and
challenges in the road transport sector, creating new transport and logistics
routes, increasing the number of flights, boosting the flow of mutual travel by
citizens, increasing the volume of imports and exports, and creating a
favorable business environment for entrepreneurs,» noted Mongolian Foreign
Minister Batmunkh Battsetseg.
Kazakhstan hands over
5,000 books in state language to Mongolia
During his visit to
Mongolia, Nurtleu, on behalf of President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, presented
5,000 books in the state language. These works by renowned Kazakh writers,
poets, and scholars will be distributed to libraries and educational
institutions, including regions with a Kazakh diaspora. Nurtleu thanked the
Mongolian leadership for supporting the preservation of the language and
national identity of local Kazakhs, confirming Kazakhstan’s commitment to
strengthening educational cooperation. Currently, around 1,000 Kazakh students
are studying at Mongolian universities, and plans are underway to open a branch
of one of the leading Kazakh universities in Mongolia.
«These books were
received by our representatives in Parliament. In Bayan-Ölgii, the regional
library and district libraries will receive them. We have more than 40 schools teaching
in Kazakh. Overall, each year Kazakhstan sends us such books. Last year, the Otandastar
public foundation also provided a significant amount of literature. Our
secondary schools mainly use educational materials from Kazakhstan,» shared
People’s Writer of Mongolia Sultan Taukey.
