Meeting with Prime Minister of the United Kingdom David Cameron

November 3, 2015

 

During the meeting, the sides discussed  major areas of Kazakh-British bilateral economic.

Nursultan Nazarbayev said that Cameron’s visit to Kazakhstan in 2013 has given a good impetus to the strategic partnership of the two countries. The President also stressed that during the talks the members of the Kazakh government reached an important agreement with the British side.

He congratulated Cameron on the Conservatives’ victory in the last election.

“I would like to note the successes that your country has achieved in this difficult time. The tight schedule of my visit indicates the high level of our relations as well,” he said.

David Cameron, on his part, pointed to deals involving four new gas plants and a steel production facility in Kazakhstan as key components of a widening partnership, suggesting the latter could benefit the U.K.’s own crisis-hit steel industry.

“By bringing together our two diverse economies, broad international cooperation and shared commitment to reform, I believe our relationship can become even stronger,” he said.

A number of agreements were signed during the meeting, including an agreement between Kazakhstan and the U.K. on mutual legal assistance, a memorandum of understanding between Kazakhstan’s Agency for Civil Service Affairs and Anti-Corruption and the Secretariat of the Cabinet of Ministers of the United Kingdom and an agreement on the participation of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in EXPO 2017 in Astana.

In addition, the President of Kazakhstan awarded Cameron with the Order of Dostyk (Friendship) of first degree.
