Investment minister: Iran Kazakhstan’s key partner

“Iran is Kazakhstan’s strategic partner,” Kazakh investment minister said in a meeting with Deputy Governor of Central Bank of Iran Gholamali Kamyab in Astana on Friday.

The two sides discussed boosting banking cooperation and investment opportunities.

Kamyab pointed to the creation of needed mechanisms to broaden the trade relations between the two countries, and said, “The two countries should conduct their trade transactions in their national currencies.

During President Hassan Rouhani’s visit to Astana less than two month ago, the Iranian and Kazakh presidents had laid emphasis on removal of banking problems between the two countries.
