Strategic partnership with India growing dynamically: Kazakhstan FM

The Economic Times – Kazakhstan (Central Asia’s biggest state) Foreign Minister Mukhtar Tileuberdi on Sunday asserted that strategic partnership with India is growing dynamically and the two sides are committed to push constructive cooperation in all its dimensions including economic and political spheres.

Delivering his opening remarks at the 3rd edition of the India-Central Asia Dialogue in New Delhi, Tileuberdi said, "I'm confident that this forum serves as yet another milestone even to reaffirm our shared priorities and commitment to elevate our partnership to the quality of new level."

It's very symbolic that our meeting is taking place at a time when Central Asia nations are celebrating their 30th anniversary of independence, he added.

The Kazakhstan Foreign Minister recalled that the inaugural conference held in in 2019, and the second meeting held virtually in 2020, provided a great platform to an in-depth discussion on topical issues of regional and global agenda, thus facilitating a stronger dialogue and boosting regional connectivity.

He pointed out that this dialogue and said it has an effective consultative mechanism "we are committed to for fostering constructive cooperation in all its dimensions including economic and political spheres."

Tileuberdi pointed out that during the past three decades, Kazakhstan and India have developed successful and dynamic relations across the whole spectrum of cooperation. He added that "we have established solid cooperation in politics, economy, science, technology as well as cultural and humanitarian spheres."

He said, "strategic partnership with India is dynamically growing and increasingly covers new areas of interaction."

"We are eager to maintain a trustworthy political dialogue and look forward to organizing a high-level visit by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev to India next year. That could coincide with the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between our two countries. During the events that we have scheduled for the next year will certainly help to boost bilateral political, economic, cultural and humanitarian ties," he said.

“Today, we restored pre-pandemic indicators in mutual trade. After a slight decline last year, the trade turnover between Kazakhstan and Central Asia countries has increased by 30 per cent to this August and amounted to 3.7 billion US dollars.”

 

He noted that he believes this dialogue will also contribute to the relations with India both bilaterally and multilaterally, in terms of attracting huge potential for Central Asia Development.
