During the talks with the Minister of Foreign Affairs Kairat Abdrakhmanov, the parties discussed in detail the state and prospects of political, trade, economic and cultural cooperation. Promising areas of cooperation are construction, energy, agriculture, transport, infrastructure, logistics and tourism.

The Albanian delegation was informed about the favorable conditions and preferences created for foreign investors in Kazakhstan, as well as opportunities for cooperation in the framework of the Astana International Financial Center.

The trade turnover between the two countries remains low. In this regard, in order to impart the dynamics of trade and economic cooperation, an agreement was reached to accelerate the process of signing three fundamental agreements - on trade and economic cooperation, on the promotion and mutual protection of investments and on the avoidance of double taxation. In addition, documents on mutual legal assistance are on the agenda of negotiations.

An exchange of views took place on a wide range of topical issues on the international and regional agendas, such as terrorism, nuclear weapons, international crime, as well as including processes occurring in Central Asia and the Balkan region. It was noted that the proximity or coincidence of the positions of Kazakhstan and Albania on major international problems also allows cooperation within such platforms as the UN and the OIC.

In this context, the personal contribution of the President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev to the settlement of international conflicts will be emphasized, as well as the initiatives of the head of Kazakhstan, made in the framework of The Astana Club - updating the Helsinki process in 1975 and holding a conference on security and cooperation in Astana in 2020 and the organization of the first joint consultative meeting of the OSCE, the CICA and the ASEAN Regional Forum.

During the talks, the Kazakh side also expressed its readiness to support the candidature of Albania for the OSCE chairmanship in 2020 and share the experience of its chairmanship in this organization.

Following the meeting, the diplomats signed a Protocol on Cooperation between the Ministries of Foreign Affairs, and also adopted a Memorandum of Cooperation between the Chambers of Commerce of Entrepreneurs.
