Saakashvili: Kazakhstan a Reliable Economic Partner

Kazakhstan is a reliable economic partner, which depends less on ?political caprices? said President Saakashvili after talks with his Kazakh counterpart Nursultan Nazarbayev in Astana on January 10.

The Georgian President, accompanied by Foreign Minister Gela Bezhuashvili and other officials, arrived in Astana on Tuesday to participate in the inauguration of President Nazarbayev.

?Unfortunately we, as well as many other countries in the region, failed to finally agree on several issues with Russia [in the energy sector]; but we have very good cooperation in this regard with Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan? Kazakhstan is an investor, which has economic goals and is less dependent on political fluctuations and political caprices – that is very important,? Mikheil Saakashvili told reporters after talks with President Nazarbayev.
