Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan aim to strengthen
cooperation. Kazakhstan is ready to increase supplies of 130 types of
non-resource goods by more than $340 million. This was announced during the
official visit of Kazakh Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov to Baku. During his
meeting with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, Bektenov conveyed greetings
from President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev and emphasized that bilateral cooperation
has reached a new qualitative level of partnership, thanks to the trusting
relationship between the two heads of state. The Kazakh Prime Minister then
held intergovernmental talks with his counterpart, Ali Asadov. The parties
discussed trade and economic cooperation, collaboration in the transport and
logistics sector, and the development of cultural and humanitarian ties.
Notably, last year, trade turnover between Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan reached
$533 million, while cargo transportation along the Trans-Caspian transport
corridor totaled 4.5 million tonnes. The meetings resulted in the signing of several
bilateral agreements, including one on the design and construction of an
underwater fiber-optic communication line along the Kazakhstan-Azerbaijan
route. This strategic project aims to improve communication quality and
increase data transmission between Asia and Europe.
