ASTANA. October 11. KAZINFORM - Regions of Kazakhstan to do business with each other. Such a requirement has been voiced by President Nursultan Nazarbayev at the enlarged session of the Government which is taking place today in Akorda.
"Regional integration - 16 regions; they are to trade, neighbors with neighbors. Grouping is not necessary, as it is now being done, that is gathering in the east, then to get together in the north. All areas must be busy, they should search for their market. The population is small, the market is saturated. With this in mind we are to go towards integration in the Customs Union. There is a market of our neighbors, and there are several of them - Russia, China, Central Asia, Turkey and so on ", said the President .
