More than ten agreements may be signed during Kazakh president’s visit to Baku: ambassador

“Currently, more than ten agreements are being worked out that may be signed during the upcoming visit of the Kazakh president,”  the ambassador said.

The documents are mainly about “cooperation in energy, transport, agriculture, emergency situations and consular issues”, he said.

One of the main topic of the forthcoming summit will be cooperation in the transport sector, he said.

“Kazakhstan may use Azerbaijan to deliver its strategic commodities, especially grain, to the Middle East countries.”

"Both our countries are also promising in terms of exports of hydrocarbons. Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan are transit countries through which you oil and gas can be supplied to world markets from the Caspian region,” the diplomat said.

Over the four years since the signing of an agreement on strategic partnership and alliance between the two countries, in Astana and Baku, "could do a lot could to strengthen the mutual positions”, he said.

"First of all, speaking about energy, I mean the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline,” said the ambassador.

"Second, no less important projects in the energy sector is a Kazakh Caspian Pipeline System (KCPS), which since the launch of Kashagan will supply Kazakh oil to Baku, and thence to world markets,” he said adding that even when oil prices fell to $40 KCPS did not stop work.

Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev is expected to visit Baku in October.
