I would like to note that Azerbaijan is a fraternal and very close state for Kazakhstan. We are doing everything possible to develop comprehensive cooperation in trade, economic and investment spheres and, of course, to cooperate in the political arena, whether it is a bilateral format or international organisations.
We were preparing for your visit. We are focused on very serious work to develop economic cooperation and cooperation with Azerbaijan, which plays a leading role in the Transcaucasian region. There are no problems between us. There is only a desire to go forward in this direction," Kassym-Jomart Tokayev said.
