ASTANA. April 14. KAZINFORM /Serik Sabekov/ The Kazakh Ministry of Economic Development and Trade holds the second round of negotiations on free trade between the Customs Union countries within the EurAsEC and New Zealand.
"Our goal is to provide common liberalization of commerce between our countries, increase trade turnover", executive secretary for the trade and economic group of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade of New Zealand Crawford Falconer noted.
According to him, despite the fact that New Zealand is a small country, it is one of the key players in the Asia-Pacific and has great economic potential.
"Establishment of trade integration ties between the Customs Union and our country creates a bridge between the Eurasian space and Asia-Pacific," he resumed.
