In his address, Bektenov emphasized that the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) remains a reliable platform for cooperation and mutually beneficial solutions. Last year, Kazakhstan’s trade with CIS countries reached $37.3 billion, including a 9.4% rise in services trade to $4.3 billion. He highlighted that ongoing efforts to improve exchange trading mechanisms across CIS states will provide additional stimulus to business activity. We are also focusing on exporting domestic digital solutions and sharing our experience with international partners. Kazakhstan is ready to develop further cooperation with our CIS colleagues in this area,” Bektenov said.
