The process of joining customs union may take an accelerated pace, Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev said during the visit of the President of the Republic of Kyrgyzstan Almazbek Atambayev in Astana, Novosti-Kazakhstan agency says.
"We have considered the question of Kyrgyz joining the customs union which is a single economic area and Kazakhstan strongly supports this desire of Kyrgyzstan. Our experts will assist in the preparation of documents because it will be necessary to adopt about 60 agreements in Kyrgyzstan and ratify them in parliament. Time is required for this and as we have already prepared such documents, Kyrgyzstan can work to a faster pace," Nazarbayev said.
The head of Kazakhstan noted that Kyrgyzstan should tighten its macroeconomic indicators to the level of the Customs Union and Kazakhstan will help Kyrgyzstan in this direction.
