“Kazakhstan and Russia ... are reliable allies and strategic partners, it is very important for us to continue expanding our mutually beneficial ties.
Economic cooperation between our countries will continue to grow,” the diplomat said.
His words are quoted by RIA Novosti.
Those people who talk about the "distance" of Russia and Kazakhstan are wrong in their assessments, he said.
This is proved by the positive dynamics of interaction between the two countries in key areas, Kosherbaev said.
On January 13, President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, during a conversation with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, thanked Russia for helping to resolve the situation in the country.
