ASTANA, Kazakhstan, March 31. Slovenia is
considering new directions for investments in Kazakhstan, stated
the President of Slovenia, Nataša Pirc Musar, during talks with the
President of Kazakhstan, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, in a closed-format
meeting, Trend
reports.
Welcoming the distinguished guest at the Akorda residence, the
president of Kazakhstan underscored that her visit opens
exceptional prospects for deepening and expanding Kazakh-Slovenian
partnership.
“We intend to establish closer cooperation with your country,
and I, as president, will do everything possible to strengthen ties
in all areas of mutual interest. We have the opportunity to offer
your entrepreneurs, as well as the government, several attractive
projects,” said the president of Kazakhstan.
As the president pointed out, 19 companies with Slovenian
capital are successfully operating in Kazakhstan in sectors such as
pharmaceuticals, engineering, telecommunications, and renewable
energy. Moreover, Kazakhstan and Slovenia have great potential in
the fields of transportation, logistics, digitalization and
innovation, healthcare, and tourism.
The president of Slovenia expressed sincere gratitude to
Kassym-Jomart Tokayev for the warm welcome extended to her and her
delegation.
“Over the 33 years since the establishment of diplomatic
relations between our countries, there has not been a single
unresolved issue. You rightly pointed out that this creates the
conditions for expanding and deepening economic cooperation.
Therefore, I brought a large business delegation with me. They have
already begun discussing promising partnership areas with Kazakh
colleagues. Economic exchange is growing, but I believe we can
achieve more. Contacts between presidents and politicians are
always a step forward because politicians should open doors for
business,” said Nataša Pirc Musar.
During the negotiation process, there was a comprehensive
dialogue regarding an extensive array of global and regional
matters.
Slovenian direct capital infusion into the Kazakh economic
landscape has approached the $200 million threshold.
