NDON. October 20. KAZINFORM /Russlan Gapbassov/ "Economic growth centre drifted from the East towards Asia," said UK Minister for Trade and Investments Stephen Green at the Kazakhstan's Business Forum underway in London.
"International investments are of vital importance today and it concerns everyone. As for the UK international ties we enjoy high-level relations with many countries of the world. But, not all of them show the high level of development. Half of our export is oriented at the European market," the Minister added.
According to him, Asia's development will be a dominant factor in the 21st century. "It will exert, in its turn, influence on the work of all the governments and business. Large countries such as China and India draw great attention. But Great Britain should also pay attention to other regions in Asia, especially to Kazakhstan. Relations between our countries are developing also in the sphere of investments and trade," he stated.
