VISIT OF THE HEAD OF THE GOVERNMENT OF KAZAKHSTAN TO GEORGIA
On June 23, the Prime Minister of Kazakhstan
Alikhan Smailov met with the Prime Minister of Georgia Irakli Garibashvili in
Tbilisi within the frame of the official visit of the Head of the Government of
the Republic of Kazakhstan.
As you know, Georgia is an important and
reliable partner of Kazakhstan in the South Caucasus. At the same time, the
main core of bilateral cooperation remains cooperation in the trade and
economic sphere, especially cooperation in the transport and logistics sphere
can be pointed out.
Alikhan Smailov outlined the key role of the
transit and transport sector in cooperation between Kazakhstan and Georgia, as
large transcontinental transport corridors pass through the territories of the
two states - the shortest routes from Europe to China and South-East Asia.
"Kazakhstan and Georgia are actively
cooperating in the development of the Trans-Caspian International Transport
Route. We are interested in increasing the transport connectivity of the region
and in consistently improving transit conditions. In these plans, we certainly
take into account the transit and transport potential of Georgia," Alikhan
Smailov stressed.
New geopolitical realities have opened up new opportunities for the countries to develop a middle transport corridor, and in this direction it is necessary to strengthen active work in order to achieve maximum results in terms of attracting new cargo flows through our countries.
