\nTokayev signed the\u00a0Declaration on\u00a0the\u00a0Transition of\u00a0Interstate Relations between
\nthe\u00a0Russian Federation and\u00a0the\u00a0Republic of\u00a0Kazakhstan to\u00a0the\u00a0Level of\u00a0Comprehensive
\nStrategic Partnership and\u00a0Alliance.<\/p>\n

* * *<\/p>\n

President of\u00a0Russia Vladimir Putin<\/b>: Mr President, ladies and\u00a0gentlemen, friends,<\/p>\n

We are delighted to\u00a0welcome in\u00a0the\u00a0Kremlin the\u00a0President of\u00a0the\u00a0Republic of\u00a0Kazakhstan who is in\u00a0Russia on\u00a0a\u00a0state visit.<\/p>\n

Our talks were held in\u00a0a\u00a0business-like and\u00a0constructive atmosphere and\u00a0yielded tangible results which is
\nfully consistent with the\u00a0truly friendly and\u00a0neighbourly relations between
\nRussia and\u00a0Kazakhstan. We had a\u00a0detailed discussion on\u00a0bilateral cooperation in\u00a0all its aspects, and\u00a0shared views on\u00a0pressing regional and\u00a0international
\nmatters.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0key outcome of\u00a0the\u00a0visit is the\u00a0declaration on\u00a0the\u00a0transition of\u00a0relations between Russia and\u00a0Kazakhstan to\u00a0an\u00a0entirely new and\u00a0more advanced level of\u00a0comprehensive strategic partnership and\u00a0alliance. Also, an\u00a0extensive package of\u00a0intergovernmental and\u00a0interagency
\nagreements and\u00a0memorandums was signed laying out specific long-term provisions
\nfor\u00a0joint effort in\u00a0terms of\u00a0security policy, trade, investment, culture and\u00a0humanitarian affairs.<\/p>\n

Obviously, economic ties were a\u00a0priority of\u00a0these talks. Last year, trade reached US$28.7 billion, which
\naccounts for\u00a0a\u00a0fifth of\u00a0Kazakhstan\u2019s foreign trade.<\/p>\n

For\u00a0Russia, Kazakhstan is one of\u00a0the\u00a0biggest trade partners within the\u00a0Commonwealth of\u00a0Independent States and\u00a0across
\nthe\u00a0Eurasian space in\u00a0general. Moreover, our mutual trade is structured in\u00a0a\u00a0way that enables us to\u00a0constantly diversify it by\u00a0increasing the\u00a0share of\u00a0non-primary goods. As\u00a0for\u00a0the\u00a0share of\u00a0national currencies
\nin\u00a0our mutual settlements, it already exceeds 96 percent, which enables us to\u00a0make
\nour business transactions immune to\u00a0negative external impacts, including political
\nfactors.<\/p>\n

Russia is a\u00a0leading investor in\u00a0Kazakhstan, with
\ncumulative capital investments totalling approximately US$10 billion. Over
\n17,000 enterprises with Russian participation operate on\u00a0the\u00a0Kazakhstani
\nmarket, and\u00a0the\u00a0two countries are implementing around 70 major joint projects
\nacross all key sectors of\u00a0Kazakhstan\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n

Bilateral energy cooperation is steadily
\nadvancing. The\u00a0majority of\u00a0Kazakhstan\u2019s oil exports transit through Russia,
\nwhile Russian oil is shipped via Kazakhstan to\u00a0markets in\u00a0Asia. <\/p>\n

In\u00a0turn, Russia imports Kazakhstan\u2019s coal, and\u00a0the\u00a0two nations have established mutual electricity supplies. Russia is also
\nparticipating in\u00a0modernising thermal and\u00a0hydroelectric power facilities in\u00a0Kazakhstan.<\/p>\n

I\u00a0should note that for\u00a0many years, Gazprom has
\nbeen stably supplying gas to\u00a0consumers in\u00a0Kazakhstan. Currently, opportunities
\nare being explored to\u00a0expand these supplies, particularly to\u00a0the\u00a0northern and\u00a0eastern regions where Kazakhstan\u2019s major industrial capacities are
\nconcentrated.<\/p>\n

Companies from both countries are successfully
\ncollaborating on\u00a0projects in\u00a0the\u00a0automotive industry, agriculture, agricultural
\nengineering, and\u00a0mineral fertiliser production. There are also plans under
\ndiscussion to\u00a0step up cooperation in\u00a0the\u00a0chemical industry and\u00a0rare earth
\nmining.<\/p>\n

Russia and\u00a0Kazakhstan are connected by\u00a0a\u00a0network of\u00a0key Eurasian transport routes. Our countries are working to\u00a0increase
\nthe\u00a0capacity of\u00a0automobile border crossings, while freight traffic by\u00a0air and\u00a0water is expanding, including across the\u00a0Caspian Sea and\u00a0along the\u00a0Irtysh
\nRiver. <\/p>\n

Significant new prospects are emerging with the\u00a0development of\u00a0the\u00a0International North-South Transport Corridor, which runs
\nfrom Russia to\u00a0the\u00a0Indian Ocean. The\u00a0eastern branch of\u00a0this route crosses
\nKazakhstan before connecting to\u00a0Turkmenistan and\u00a0Iran.<\/p>\n

Close cooperation continues in\u00a0space research,
\nincluding the\u00a0joint operation of\u00a0the\u00a0Baikonur space centre. The\u00a0Baiterek
\nproject, which envisions creating a\u00a0new rocket and\u00a0space complex for\u00a0launches
\nof\u00a0the\u00a0Russian Soyuz-5 vehicle, is underway, with its first launch expected
\nbefore the\u00a0end of\u00a0this year.<\/p>\n

Regional partnerships significantly contribute
\nto\u00a0the\u00a0practical development of\u00a0our bilateral ties. The\u00a021st Russia-Kazakhstan
\nInterregional Cooperation Forum is currently being held in\u00a0Uralsk. President
\nTokayev and\u00a0I\u00a0have just addressed the\u00a0participants of\u00a0its plenary session via
\nvideoconference. The\u00a0forum focuses on\u00a0the\u00a0pressing issue of\u00a0training professional,
\nhighly qualified personnel for\u00a0various economic sectors. It brings together
\nrepresentatives from more than thirty Russian regions and\u00a0their counterparts
\nfrom across Kazakhstan.<\/p>\n
