"Mutually beneficial cooperation between our countries continues to strengthen. Over the past five years, the trade turnover of the North Kazakhstan region with the Russian Federation has increased by 1.6 times, reaching 700 million dollars. But this is far from the limit. During the meeting with the governor of the Kurgan region Vadim Shumkov, we discussed the prospects for further expansion of bilateral partnership, for this purpose we signed a roadmap for the implementation of the agreement on cooperation in the trade, economic, scientific, technical and humanitarian spheres," the head of the region wrote on social networks.

Particular attention was paid to business initiatives and the implementation of joint investment projects. These topics formed the basis of the dialogue with representatives of the business community of the two border regions. A more substantive discussion took place in the format of B2B meetings between entrepreneurs of Kurgan and North Kazakhstan region.

The key event was the signing of a number of significant documents: a cooperation agreement between the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Kurgan region and the Chamber of Entrepreneurs of North Kazakhstan region, a memorandum of understanding between the Center for Investor Services and Innovation Support "SEC Soltustik" and LLC "Agrocomplex Kurgansemena", as well as a memorandum of cooperation between JSC "Kurgandormash" and the SEZ "Kyzylzhar".

In order to study the production potential in more detail, the delegation of the North Kazakhstan region visited Kurganmash and other leading enterprises, such as Kurganstalmost, Vezdekhody Burlak and the industrial park.
