The delegations of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the European Union held another round of negotiations on the draft Agreement of Visa Facilitation and Readmission Agreement, the press service of the Kazakh MFA reported.
During the negotiations, the parties continued substantive discussions aimed at further aligning their positions on the key provisions of the future agreements.
