The Dubai Chamber of
Commerce and Industry recently hosted the Kazakhstan Export Briefing in
cooperation with Kazakhstan’s National Agency for Export and Investment (KAZNEX
INVEST).
“We see potential for
increased cooperation between Dubai and Kazakhstan in several sectors,
including infrastructure and logistics, tourism, real estate, construction,
food and agriculture processing,” Atiq Nasib, senior vice president of commercial services at Dubai Chamber, said. “We look forward to exploring some of those new
and exciting opportunities.”
The event was attended by Kairat Sharif, ambassador of Kazakhstan to the UAE; Sergey Karplyuk, deputy mayor
of Kazakhstan’s Kostanay Region; and Askar Arynov, managing director at KAZNEX
INVEST. Top executives from 20 leading Kazakh businesses were present as well.
“We are ready to establish
new ties between our two countries and build on a trade relationship that began
25 years ago,” Sharif said. “We hope these negotiations will lay the foundation for closer
relations and collaboration.”
Echoing Sharif’s sentiment,
Karplyuk spoke about areas of possible cooperation between the regions.
“Kazakhstan and the Kostanay
region offer many areas for mutual cooperation with UAE companies,” he said. “Our economy is diversified in agriculture and industry and we are
looking for ways to further develop these sectors. This event is a very
important step in exploring some of those opportunities with UAE businesses.”
