On June 22, 2020, the Ambassador of Kazakhstan to India, Yerlan Alimbayev, took part in the “Horasis India Meeting,” an online conference organized by Swiss public organizations Horasis and Caspian Week in conjunction with the “Confederation of Indian Industrialists”.  The event is held annually for 12 years in various countries and this year it was held first time on a virtual platform, gathering over 400 representatives from business circles, officials and diplomats from Europe, India and United States.

Kazakhstani diplomat was invited as one of the keynote speakers of the panel session “India and the Caspian Region: Developing a Common Future”.

In his speech, Yerlan Alimbayev highlighted the experience of bilateral political and economic cooperation between Kazakhstan and India, paying attention to the potential of attracting Indian investments in priority sectors of the Kazakhstan economy: Mining and Metallurgical complex, Chemical industry, Agro-industrial complex and Food processing.  There are great opportunities for developing trade and investment cooperation and attracting Indian capital to expand agricultural production in the Republic of Kazakhstan with subsequent export of products to India and neighboring countries.

Answering the questions from participants of the conference, the Ambassador of Kazakhstan noted that the creation of a reliable transport and logistics corridor, capable of ensuring the flow of goods on competitive terms can serve as a driver in enhancing bilateral trade and investment relations between India and the countries of the entire Central Asian region.
