Croatia keen to establish closer economic cooperation with Kazakhstan - Prime Minister Zoran Milanović

"It's a great honor and privilege to be here in Kazakhstan," the Croatian Prime Minister said of his first visit to the Central Asian republic. "My colleagues from the diplomatic service often recall their stay in Kazakhstan and say they have been hugely impressed by the country." Zoran Milanović also welcomed the fact that Croatia and Kazakhstan intend to establish closer economic cooperation. "Currently the two-way trade is low and we want to bring it to a higher level," the Croatian official stressed. As for the Kazakhstan-Croatia Business Forum scheduled to be held in Astana later in the day, Prime Minister Milanović called it ‘a good way to start friendly and long-term relations'.
