EU respects Kazakhstan’s commitment to UN Charter, says Josep Borrell

The European Union respects Kazkahstan’s commitment to the UN Charter and rule-based international order, urging the country to use its potential to end conflicts around the world. When I first took office, the EU-Kazakhstan Enhanced Partnership and Cooperation Agreement was not yet fully in effect. Now after almost five years, it’s well underway, said Josep Borrell during a press conference following his visit with Kazakh Foreign Ministry Murat Nurtleu.

He went on to add that it’s obvious that the agreement is benefiting businesses and citizens of both sides.

The EU is the largest trade partner of Kazakhstan accounting for over a third of Kazakhstani exports and the major foreign investor in the Kazakh economy.

According to Josep Borrell, the EU and Kazakhstan need to improve the business climate so as companies benefit from new opportunities of economic cooperation.
