Immediately following conclusion of the work of the 4th Greek-Kazakhstani Joint Interministerial Committee, the Alternate Minister of Foreign Affairs made the following statement:
“We have a very good cooperation with Kazakhstan. It is vital for the two countries to work together on developing bilateral relations. Both countries are models of stability, each in its own region, and they promote not only bilateral trade, but also trade between Europe and Asia. The two countries represent links and bridges between China, the Eurasian Economic Commission, and the European Union. Together, we shall promote prospects of cooperation on the part of Kazakhstan with the European Union. Moreover, just recently, we ratified the related cooperation agreement between Kazakhstan and the European Union in Parliament.
We discussed development of bilateral relations in fields such as transport, energy, particularly on the alternate forms of the latter, agriculture and mainly its modern forms such as hydroponic farming and pisciculture, as well as cooperation in tourism. Specifically with regard to cooperation in tourism, we concluded a memorandum of cooperation between the two countries."
