The meeting focused on main areas of partnership between the Central Asian countries and India, covering fields like transport and logistics, regional cooperation, counter-terrorism and the development of advanced technologies.
Noting a 41-per cent rise in Indian investments in Kazakhstan to over $525 million, Nurtleu said bilateral trade has the potential to rise from $1 billion in 2024 to $3 billion in the near future, the Kazakh Foreign Ministry said in a release.
The minister invited Indian companies to participate in joint infrastructure projects, including multimodal routes, fibre-optic lines and regional energy grids, and the implementation of major projects aimed at further expanding the capacity of the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route being developed by Kazakhstan.
Nurtleu identified transport and logistical connectivity as a key area for cooperation, and expressed its readiness to become a reliable supplier of strategic resources, including energy resources, rare earth metals and agricultural products within the framework of India’s Viksit Bharat (Developed India) initiative.
Kazakhstan is ready to strengthen cooperation with India in areas such as trade, digital transformation, critical minerals and energy security, he added.
