We have set a goal to reach an agreement on border issues with neighboring countries this year. In addition, we want to offer our neighbors a number of interstate projects, transport corridors and air communications, development of economic and cultural ties on the border, including on complex issues such as water use,» Sadyr Japarov said.
We will continue our cooperation with the Eurasian Economic Union, which is a leading and specific foreign policy project.
