    Default Ukrainian Foreign Minister Visits Kazakhstan

    What are your all's thoughts about Kazakhstan and the Customs Union? Does anyone think that the strong relations between Kazakhstan and Ukraine could help to lure the latter into the CU?

    Ukrainian Foreign Minister Visits Kazakhstan

    The Foreign Minister of Ukraine, Leonid Kozhara, paid a working visit to Kazakhstan, October 13-14. Mr Kozhara discussed bilateral relations between Kazakhstan and Ukraine and was also acting in his capacity as the current chairman of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).

    Political and economic relations between Kazakhstan and Ukraine have been strong since both countries achieved independence at the end of 1991. There have been a total of 18 presidential visits between the two countries – President Nazarbayev has visited Ukraine nine times and his Ukrainian counterparts have made the same number of visits to Kazakhstan. Prime Minister Akhmetov notably made his first official visit to Ukraine in April this year. It was in the spirit of excellent Kazakhstan-Ukraine relations that it was announced that Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych will visit Kazakhstan on an official state visit in 2014.

    As far as economic relations are concerned, between 2007 and 2012 bilateral trade between Kazakhstan and Ukraine more than doubled, from USD 2.6bn in 2007 to USD 5.5bn in 2012. The figure for 2012 represented an increase of 24% on the previous year. Kazakhstan is now Ukraine’s third-largest trading partner within the countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), and its eighth-largest trading partner worldwide.

    welcome to JPP.

    I wonder if the Ukraine as the same issues and attitudes towards migrant workers like Kazaks that they have in Russia?
