Distinguished guests

Ladies and Gentlemen

It gives me immense pleasure to be here in Kazakhstan. I am delighted and grateful for the excellent hospitality extended to me and my delegation.

Kazakhstan has achieved huge progress in political, economic and social spheres with in a short span of time as a new nation and has emerged as a country characterized by political stability and a strong economy.

Relations between our countries have always been cordial, friendly and warm. Our countries enjoy a dynamic and vibrant bilateral political, economic and cultural relationship.

The good relations at political level need also to be reflected in our economic relations. There is enormous potential and many profitable opportunities to expand our bilateral trade and improve our commercial ties. I am confident that the relations between our countries would continue to grow and prosper in the coming years.

Thank you.
