IWEP: Agreements with USA will enable Kazakhstan to implement digital program
Firstly, a joint political statement was adopted on the new phase of an enhanced strategic partnership. This means that productive cooperation between our countries, which is 26 years old this year, will deepen.
"For Astana, Washington is one of the key partners in foreign policy and the most important investor in the economy. In turn, as noted by Donald Trump, America considers a strong, sovereign and independent Kazakhstan as a valuable friend and strategic partner of the United States in Central Asia", noted in the IWEP.
Experts also note the economic component. As the Head of State said during the briefing on the results of negotiations, it is planned to conclude more than 20 contracts worth more than 7.5 billion dollars. It is not a secret that Astana's interest lies in developing contacts with the United States for the transfer of high technologies and innovative productions. In this regard, it is safe to say that the new agreements will allow Kazakhstan to implement its "digital" agenda in the economy.
Secondly, D. Trump and N. Nazarbayev reaffirmed the intention of the United States and Kazakhstan to further work together on the issue of strengthening international and regional security.
"It is a question of closer coordination of the efforts of Kazakhstan and the United States on Afghanistan. In addition, Kazakhstan expressed its support for US efforts in the field of anti-terrorist struggle. The leaders of the states also expressed the importance of working together to resolve the North Korean nuclear problem", commented in the Institute.
Thirdly, Kazakhstan and the United States have agreed to strengthen cooperation within the framework of the C5 + 1 regional dialogue platform. In this regard, it is possible to expect new initiatives in the work of this site.

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.
