friend the president of kazakhstan dear vladimir vladimirovich dear participants of the forum first of all. i would like to express my gratitude to the president of the russian federation and all russian colleagues for the high level of organization of this event, and the theme of the forum itself is of particular importance in the current crisis. indeed, the removal of all restrictions and the creation of mutually beneficial conditions in trade is certainly the key to the qualitative economic growth of our countries. therefore, our today's meeting is of particular importance, according to the world trade organization, the most developed countries in the world, which stood at the origins of liberal trade agreements. in the last six months, the pace of introducing export

restrictions has been increasing. for example, the g20 countries from may to october of this year introduced 47 restrictive measures on goods trade volume, which has more than 160 billion dollars, we are talking about the constant emerging export bans, additional licensing requirements and subsequent co-operation against this background. what is between kazakhstan and russia, fortunately, i would say, is separatingly different from global trends, last month we celebrated the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations, significant for our countries, during this time our state was able to build a mutually beneficial strategic partnership, based on the strong ties of friendship and good neighborliness, a trusting constructive dialogue has been established between our countries, a high level of cooperation has been achieved. we actively

interact within the framework of international organizations and integration associations. i mean the organization of the whites. nations sngb. eurasian economic union shanghai cooperation organization osce cis, which makes a significant contribution to ensuring regional security and enhancing the role of all of eurasia in politics and economics economic cooperation is strengthening year by year mutual trade between our countries is steadily growing, joint projects are being implemented , the share of national currencies in mutual settlements is increasing last year, the volume of trade e between kazakhstan and russia reached a new record value of almost 24.5 billion dollars, the results of the first 9 months of this year show an increase in trade by 5%. the range

of kazakhstani exports to russia has improved, the value of which exceeds 100,000 dollars compared to last year, the number of commodity items increased from 6:40 to 1050 items. deliveries to the russian regions, uh, have increased by more than 2 1/2 times, this is from almaty as an example, and of the other five times, cross- border trade has increased significantly. for example, deliveries to russia from the aktobe region increased by 48% from the pavlodar region by 36%. russian exports to kazakhstan are also growing, deliveries of petroleum products increased by 35%, semi-finished steel products by 22%. ores of precious metals. by 20%. wheat exports doubled. in our country successfully work more than 17,000 companies with russian participation and

kazakh russian joint ventures russian investments in kazakhstan are only growing every year. and we will do everything possible to ensure the security of russian investments and to attract them as much as possible to our economy. this is another proof that effective economic cooperation has been established between our countries. the influx of direct investments from russia to kazakhstan last year bypassed the pandemic level by more than third and exceeded the mark of $1.9 billion, while investments from kazakhstan to russia also increased by 34% reaching $500-535 million

; we are especially interested in cooperative cooperation; to date, 110 joint projects have been implemented between the kazakhstanis of russia in this area for a total of $ 23 billion with the creation of about 30,000 e workers places. these are very good indicators for industrial cooperation between our countries against the backdrop of modern challenges. we need to accelerate the modernization of supply chains. in search of new points of growth in trade and the economy. in general , only timely and bold decisions can help to form a modern and efficient infrastructure for marketing products in the border regions of kazakhstan. a system of trade hubs is being created for the entire eurasian space. it is the center of cross-border trade and eurasia on the territory of the west kazakhstan region and on

border with the russian federation similar trade hubs are being created on the border with uzbekistan and kyrgyzstan, as well as, of course, on the border with china, while these hubs will be logistically linked to ports, aktau and korek, participating in the distribution of export import flows with the caspian countries, as well as with turkey and europe, work is actively underway to create a modern container hub based on the special economic zone seaport, aktau, we plan to develop clusters, international trade and production on their basis i am sure that this work is necessary and beneficial not only for kazakhstan but also for the entire region and, of course, for the russian federation at the same time to further expand our multifaceted mutually beneficial cooperation, offering to focus joint efforts on the following areas. the first should,

in our opinion, be strengthened. activities under the commission on issues of cross-border and interregional cooperation among the key tasks under the commission is the coordination of the implementation of interregional cooperation programs the last meeting was was held in october 2019, but due to the coronavirus pandemic, we have not had meetings under the commission since then. i think that a regular meeting under the commission could be held soon. moreover , some questions have accumulated that require discussion. second. uh, special attention. it is necessary to pay attention to improving border infrastructure and expanding the capacity of border crossings between kazakhstan. russia, i believe that this work should be carried out taking into account the emerging transnational corridors, including

including the one belt one road initiative. the route north, south and, of course, match these routes with the activities of the eurasian economic union third kazakhstan is interested in developing stable trade investment relations the priority is the construction of roads the creation of logistics hubs and economic zones in our border areas in 2019 in the north kazakhstan region formed special economic zones. in the very near future. modern exports will appear there oriented production, believing that the activities of this special economic zone can give a good impetus to the operation of the border areas of the two countries. this is another one of our priorities. expansion of cooperation in the production of high value-added products in the volodarsk and arab regions. there are favorable conditions for the work of russian aluminum and petrochemical enterprises.

clusters is confident that cross-border cooperation is a worthwhile operation. in this direction, it will help to strengthen the industrial potential of our countries, dear forum participants, in general, interregional and cross-border cooperation should become the basic platform for constructive interaction between our countries in all areas. i am sure that the current discussion will allow us to develop new initiatives aimed at strengthening an equal and mutually beneficial partnership between our countries , and in conclusion i would like to wish you successful work, thank you. thank you, please, alexei lavrovovich verchuk thank you, dear vladimir vladimirovich, to the prime minister of russia dear kassym-jamar kemerovich, orenburg city where we are now, it was originally founded to develop russia's trade with central asia and

as a convenient platform for receiving trade embassies for this region, and today our bilateral cooperation in the development of interregional relations, as well as integration interactions within the the eurasian economic union gives us very good results that the trade turnover between our countries has a positive trend for 9 months of this year. it grew by 9.2%, also we we fix the growth in the volume of foreign trade cargo and freight traffic e in transit traffic for the development of transportation, we are developing the capacity of our transport infrastructure. first of all, we are trying to expand the bottlenecks 30 of the 50 checkpoints across the rural-kazakhstan border will be modernized this year . construction and installation work has already begun on design prospectors at ten checkpoints. uh, our countries together form a strong

transport and logistics framework for the entire region. and rail routes. western china kazakhstan russia belarus from novosibirsk through alma -ata with branches to kyrgyzstan and uzbekistan joint projects are being developed with kazakhstan in almost all areas of industry, but, taking into account the theme of the forum, they certainly deserve special attention local projects in the transport and automotive industries. here i would like to note the scale. the production of lada cars in the city of kostana, a constantly growing share of localization directly in kazakhstan and a number of projects for the

production of components for cars kamaz and the gas group also set up an assembly production of trucks in kazakhstan for me and for my colleague selik makashevich, dzhangalin, today's forum. it also provided an opportunity to hold a new meeting of the co-chairs of the intergovernmental commissions under cooperation between russia and kazakhstan we have already discussed the joint steps to develop cooperation. in transport logistics financial banking. sphere. we reviewed the progress in the implementation of industry projects in the energy sector. we will continue the discussion of these and many other issues on our multifaceted agenda. e of the russian kazakhstan strategic partnership, both during the forum and after it. well now i will not abuse your time. thank you for your attention. thank you. i would like to give the floor to the deputy prime minister, minister, trade and integration. thank you, dear kassanja

markemelevich dear vladimir vladimirovich ladies and gentlemen, participants of the forum e, the last few years have been difficult for all international trade, however, despite the global shifts. the russian federation for kazakhstan was and is a strategic trading economic partner, the trade turnover between our countries in 2021 amounted to 24.6 billion us dollars, which is 31.2% more than in 2020 this year, the dynamic trend in mutual trade between our countries continues thus, according to the results of nine months, trade between our countries amounted to $18.4 billion, which is almost $1 billion more than last year. russia continues to lead in import

deliveries. 12.4 billion dollars in kazakhstan three and out of eight automobile transit corridors six are synchronized with the corridors passing through the territory of the russian federation china in the bakhta area with the further construction of a new railway line ayagos bakhta with a border crossing terminal, the implementation of the project will increase the throughput in the chinese direction up to 20 million tons. new international transport corridors are beginning to play an increasingly important role, capable of ensuring sustainable exports and capitalizing on transit potential. in particular, the north-south route we

have activated the eastern branch of the corridor through the railway, kazakhstan turkmenistan iran on today is the average transit time on the route to the port of banderobas. a-a on the coast of the persian gulf is 10 days in june of this year, for the first time, a container train of 40 units of forty-foot containers with building materials was launched from russia to india . almost 80,000 tons of cargo have already been transported using this corridor in 9 months of this year, which is eight times more than last year. although the possibilities of the transport corridor make it possible to transfer 6 million tons already now. however, successful development the transport corridor is hindered by a number of infrastructural and non-physical barriers. today, experts number more than forty of them. as a result, almost 50% of the transit time. we

spend administrative procedures on border crossings to double the duration of road and rail transport to eliminate bottlenecks . first of all, it is important to establish a soft infrastructure. in particular. this is the digitalization of cargo flow control processes. at the borders of harmonization of customs procedures with a coordinated tariff policy, the expected the result of such work will be comparable with the return of the development of physical infrastructure. to this end, it is proposed to adopt a joint roadmap to remove infrastructure restrictions and administrative barriers and create favorable conditions for carriers and attract investment in infrastructure development. dear passages of the brand mirovich dear vladimir vladimirovich, i want to note the high level of practical interaction between our countries on the eurasian track on the cis site and in personal relationships between officials. there is a clear
