BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 24. Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan are strategic partners and allies not only in word but also in deed, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said making a press statement with President of the Republic of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, Trend reports.
"During our conversations and discussions today, we also touched upon the issue of increasing the turnover of goods. In my opinion, our focus on priority directions of mutual activity within the field of transport and logistics will allow us the opportunity to carry out more export-import transactions. I believe that there is tremendous potential there. I think that the President of Kazakhstan announced the figure we are aiming for – a turnover worth 1 billion dollars. In my opinion, taking into account the intention of both sides to deepen mutual cooperation, this is quite realistic.
Of course, we have also discussed other issues related to information and communication technologies and humanitarian cooperation. In other words, our agenda today is quite broad, and we see that the positions of our countries completely overlap in all directions. This once again shows that Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan are strategic partners and allies not only in word but also in deed," the head of state said.
