ASTANA. May 22. KAZINFORM /Aigul Tulekbayeva/ Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbayev has received the Heads of Governments of the CIS member countries who have arrived in Astana to participate in the session of the CIS Council of Heads of Governments today.
?I am sure that the Commonwealth of Independent States is important for us, at least for such meetings?, the Head of the State said.
N.Nazarbayev noted that if it had not been for the CIS the way we know it, the formation of our countries would have been more complicated. ?Of course, our countries are independent and different. But the common history helps establish new equitable relations between our countries in the new conditions?, the President said.
