Rubinov: Belarus, Kazakhstan should make the best use of SES
Belarus and Kazakhstan have great cooperation prospects across multiple fields. The two countries have cultivated friendly relations and have a common history. Over a short period, they managed to achieve a lot and now occupy a decent place in the world as civilized and highly developed nations, Anatoly Rubinov said.
Another serious integration project has emerged on a huge territory. "It is true, the European Union has more experience, but the recently established Singled Economic Space has decent prospects. It is a significant factor that should stabilize the political situation in the entire Eurasia," the speaker believes, BelTA reports.
"The mindset of politicians often goes contrary to what is happening in the world, in particular, in the global economy. Today we are swimming in the same boat; national economies are strongly interdependent. If a crisis breaks out in one country, everybody is going to experience it. Therefore, only by joint effort we will be able to deal with the issues facing our countries," Anatoly Rubinov said.
Yergali Bulegenov, in turn, said that Belarus and Kazakhstan have been actively promoting bilateral and multilateral cooperation. Now the countries are facing a new challenge - to implement the 17 agreements signed within the framework of the Single Economic Space, the diplomat said.
The ambassador informed that the President of Kazakhstan is expected to pay a visit to Belarus soon. This will give an additional impetus to the bilateral relations, the diplomat is convinced.
Kazakhstan is an important trading partner of Belarus. In January-February 2012, the bilateral trade totaled $144.6 million, up by 62% over the same period last year.
