Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev, who held talks with Alyaksandr Lukashenka in Minsk on Thursday, invited the Belarusian leader to visit Kazakhstan in 2010 and take part in an informal CIS summit scheduled for December 18, 2009,
The Kazakh president said that he and his Belarusian counterpart were determined to bring relations between the two countries to "an absolutely new level."
A “roadmap” for bilateral trade and economic cooperation for 2010 and 2011 was signed in the presence of Messrs. Lukashenka and Nazarbayev.
The roadmap provides for the two countries to carry out efficient projects in agriculture and the machine-building and chemical industries, said the press office of the Belarusian leader.
The meeting also resulted in the signing of agreements on cooperation in the public health sector and medicine, on production, scientific and technical cooperation, and on trade, economic, scientific, technical and cultural cooperation at the provincial level.
A memorandum of mutual understanding was signed on Thursday between the Belarusian finance ministry and Kazakhstan's Agency for Control and Supervision of Financial Market and Financial Organizations.
Belarus and Kazakhstan intend to develop bilateral relations, focusing on new forms of economic cooperation, the press office said. In particular, they want to step up investment and production cooperation, share modern technologies and participate in international and regional economic projects in the other country, the press office said.
An agreement was reached to include joint projects involving Belarusian companies in Kazakhstan's 2010-14 industrialization program.
Mr. Nazarbayev expressed confidence that economic cooperation would be a basis for developing relations between Belarus and Kazakhstan in other areas. "There are no unsolved problems between our states," he said. "We're open for cooperation."
