ASTANA. January 15. KAZINFORM Presidents of Kazakhstan, Russia and Belarus are expected to attend the Eurasian Business Forum, Kuanysh Dautov, the chairman of the organizing committee told the Wednesday press conference at the Central Communications Service in Astana.

"We've extended invitations to Head of State Nursultan Nazarbayev and the presidents of the Customs Union member countries - Vladimir Putin and Alexander Lukashenko. I believe that the Eurasian Business Forum is a wonderful opportunity for them to meet ahead of the Customs Union Summit in May 2014," he noted.

The Eurasian Business Forum is set to be held in Almaty city on April 17-18, 2014. It will continue in May 2014 in the Kazakh capital - Astana as part of the Astana Economic Forum.

"Kazakhstan should be the originator of integration, economic, trade and business initiatives and processes in the Customs Union area. Kazakhstan's businessmen are still not fully aware of all the benefits the accession to the Eurasian Economic Union will bring along in the nearest future. These and other aspects will be high on the agenda of the forthcoming Almaty-hosted forum," Mr. Dautov said.
