“Speaking frankly, I do not see any idea which could complicate our relations. We have just talked about the cooperation with China. 90% of our trade turnover falls on national currencies. The same situation is with Kazakhstan, where this figure has reached almost 100%,” he said, emphasizing a good level of cooperation in humanitarian sector.
The Russian President noted 'productive cooperation with Kazakhstan in all sectors, including thanks to President Tokayev who backs our interaction in all these areas'.
“Soon we will gather in Astana for the SCO and other events. I have an invitation, and, of course, I will come,” he concluded.
