15 documents signed following meeting of CIS heads of government in Astana
Today, the agenda has included very topical issues in the life of the CIS, first of all, in the economy of our states. This is ensuring the safety of nuclear facilities, the peaceful use of outer space, and the documents regulating a number of financial issues in the CIS activities in the humanitarian sphere. A total of 15 documents were signed," said Sergey Lebedev.
I want to emphasize the fact of adopting the Concept of Cooperation of the CIS member states on the development of high-tech energy equipment production and a plan of main measures for its implementation. The draft concept defines the main approaches to promoting the use of energy equipment produced in the CIS countries. We also signed an agreement on the interaction of CIS member states on preparedness in the event of a nuclear accident or an emergency, and mutual assistance while eliminating consequences. The document is aimed at simplifying mutual assistance procedures, which will reduce the response time to any possible incidents involving the use of atomic energy for peaceful purposes and will increase the level of nuclear and radiation safety in general," said Kokhir Rasulzoda.
I can only confirm that a meeting of the CIS security agencies took place a week ago in Almaty. Now the meeting of the CIS heads of government is held in Astana. Although Kazakhstan does not chair this year, it provided this platform, and it turned out to be very productive in terms of signing the documents that we talked about earlier. A CSTO summit will convene in Astana next week, on November 8, the Forum of border regions of Russia and Kazakhstan will convene on November 9. All these facts confirm that Kazakhstan was and remains a supporter of preserving and strengthening the CIS," said Sergey Lebedev.

Kazakhstan is our close partner, fraternal nation and one of the major trade partners. Kazakhstan is a priority in our foreign policy. There are no politcal or regional disputes between our countries. Since the first days of my presidency, you have constantly supported me in international structures and issues related to the expansion of the Kazakh-Kyrgyz relations. We are ready to provide all possible assistance to the fraternal Kazakh people in flood relief efforts. Our countries enjoy centuries-long friendship, fraternity, good-neighborly relations, common culture, spirituality and religion. I am confident that our mutual cooperation, strategic partnership will strengthen further," said Sadyr Zhaparov.

Olzhas Bektenov discusses water resources management issues with Heads of Diplomatic Missions of European Union countries
The scale and consequences of the natural disaster require from us radically new approaches for the proper use of resources and avoidance of similar incidents in the future. In this matter we are particularly interested in the best practices and experience of European countries and companies. It is important to synchronise the efforts of the Government of Kazakhstan with the assistance programmes of the European Union," Olzhas Bektenov said.
The water issue is in the priority of our co-operation with Central Asia. Like other natural resources, water must have its price in order to be used efficiently. This will stimulate the introduction of more efficient technologies, and many European companies are ready to work in this direction," Kestutis Jankauskas said and confirmed the readiness to ensure the transfer of knowledge and technologies in the field of sustainable management of water basins and rivers.
The Head of State Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has set a task for the Government - to develop the agro-industrial complex and ensure rational use of water resources. Agriculture and food industry are among the most important sectors of our economy. We have a huge potential for the production of high-quality and organic agricultural products and foodstuffs. We are interested in increasing food exports to the EU market. Taking into account the advanced agrarian technologies of European companies, we invite you to create joint projects for the production and processing of agricultural products. For our part, we are ready to make every effort to create a favourable environment for doing business," Olzhas Bektenov said.
