Dacic, who is on a one-day working visit to the Republic of Kazakhstan, stressed that the bilateral relations of the two countries are good and friendly, and that Kazakhstan is one of the most important foreign political partners of Serbia.

Dacic reminded that Kazakhstan firmly supports Serbia when it comes to our territorial integrity and sovereignty, and it is most important for us that Kazakhstan remains firmly in that position and continues to support Serbia.

On the other hand, Serbia will fully support Kazakhstan, and expressed satisfaction that Kazakhstan is currently a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, which is very significant for Serbia in this period, he stressed.

Dacic stressed that the relations between the two countries should be improved in all areas, adding that it is necessary to work on increasing the foreign trade commodity exchange, which in the first ten months amounted to €76 million.

Foreign trade can be even better and it is necessary to implement the map of the road agreed by the two presidents to develop and improve our relations, he stated.

He also stressed that there are great potentials for improving relations in many areas and great opportunities for greater cooperation, especially in the fields of agriculture, pharmacy, construction, IT and military industries.

Dacic said that an agreement was reached to hold regular meetings of the foreign ministers of Serbia and Kazakhstan each year, which guarantees that we will have stable cooperation in the future.
