Kazakh President attends Kazakh-Czech business forum in Prague

In his speech Nursultan Nazarbayev noted that the Czech Republic is an important trade partner of Kazakhstan in Central and Eastern Europe. He stressed that the current business forum is a good opportunity for the parties to establish mutually beneficial cooperation.

"We are interested in the study of the Czech experience in establishing technology and industrial parks, implementation of mutually beneficial investment projects. An effective tool for the development of bilateral economic relations is the establishment of direct contacts between small and medium enterprises. I hope that the progress made during the visit and the signed agreements will give a significant boost to trade and economic relations between our countries. I believe the main result of the visit is the package of agreements worth USD 250 million," said Nursultan Nazarbayev.
