00:00The Russian and Kazakhstan plan to increase trade volume to $30 billion was announced at the Business Forum Business Dialogue Moscow-Kazastan, held in the Russian capital and attended by more than 150 participants.
00:15Our colleague Elisabeta Vino-Gravoda reports.
00:19In general, the very idea, the mission of the brand, is to go out and export to the global world.
00:49That is why the Russian market, as the closest and most friendly to us, is undoubtedly interesting.
00:59Representatives from a wide range of sectors in both countries express their desire to start working together or expand existing business relationships.
01:07At the Moscow-Kazakstan Business Dialogue Forum, potential partners were able to introduce themselves, establish useful contacts and learn about the support measures available.
01:19Overall, commercial and economic cooperation is developing.
01:23Here it is necessary to mention some examples.
01:26The volume of trade reached $28.1 billion, representing a 4% increase over last year.
01:33For us, the objective and the country's leadership has entrusted us with it is to bring this figure to $30 billion.
01:38We are successfully moving toward that goal.
01:44It should be noted that approximately one-third of the current trade volume between Russia and Kazakhstan corresponds to Moscow residents, almost $9 billion.
01:53We interact very actively with Kazakhstan, which is our fifth largest trading partner in terms of foreign trade volume.
02:04The growth rates of international economic links, both in exports and imports, show stability.
02:12Today, Kazakhstan is our partner not only because of the extension of the border, but also in the development of advanced technologies and creative industries.
02:21But while virtual technologies can be developed remotely, the delivery of goods requires tangible convenience.
02:33In this sense, direct proximity between countries offers a logistical advantage cargo can be transported by road, rail and air.
02:40In addition, businesses have the opportunity to access markets in other countries.
02:44For example, through the Almaty region to China.
02:46The territory of the region is crossed by the Western Europe-Western-China International Corridor, which is a key component of the Global Belt and Road Initiative, and aims to significantly increase transport flows.
03:04Reflecting the investment advantages of both parties, the forum has already yielded its first results.
03:10In this sense, it is a key component of the world's active meetings and discussions among participants, representing participants.
