On May 21, 2024 in Astana, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Belarus, Sergei Aleinik, held a bilateral meeting with the Deputy Prime Minister and the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Murat Nurtleu.

The sides discussed current issues of bilateral cooperation with a focus on the practical component.

The sides stressed the importance of increasing joint work in the spheres of industrial and technological cooperation between the two countries and agro-industrial complex.

S.Aleinik informed the colleague about the opening a production of full-cycle cabins for Belarusian tractor equipment at LLP "Machine Building Plant MT3-Kazakhstan", planned on May 27, 2024 in Kostanai, as well as the opening, planned on May 28, 2024 in Kokshetau, a new production line for the assembly of tractor equipment and production of cabins for small tractors at LLP "Kazakhstan Agro Innovation Corporation".

The parties also agreed on the need to intensify cooperation between the regions of Belarus and Kazakhstan, as well as in the field of training specialists.
