KIEV. KAZINFORM - Petro Poroshenko in Kiev gave his first press conference and answered questions what his office's first steps will be, whether he will build a dialogue with Russia, and how his relations with Kazakh president Nursultan Nazarbayev will go, according to AKI Press citing the Kazakh TV channel 24.kz.
Mr Poroshenko considers it is necessary to restore ties with Kazakhstan and said he "respects Nursultan Nazarbayev and intends to cooperate with Kazakhstan."
"I am pleased to come to Kazakhstan with no regard to the Customs Union. We have a huge list of issues of bilateral cooperation that need to be resolved. There is much to do in the field of exports, trade, security. And I think that Kazakhstan is among those priorities that the Ukrainian President should work on," said Poroshenko.
