In recent years our countries significantly advanced in business partnership development. "Two years ago we set a task to increase goods turnover up to USD 15 bln. In accordance with official data this figure made USD 17.5 bln in 2008. Of course, the global crisis seriously impacted our economies. To my mind, we will reach such indices again", the Kazakh President said.

"At our meeting we paid particular attention to the agreement reached in Beijing in April which gave fresh impetus to the bilateral relations", he added.

"Today we see beginning of a quite new, high stage of cooperation. This is the stage of realization of strategically important joint projects in economy", N. Nazarbayev resumed.
