Kazakhstan and Venezuela Set Sights on Strengthening Ties, Particularly in the Energy Sector
In a recent meeting held in Moscow between Kazakhstan's President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev and Venezuela's President Nicolás Maduro, both leaders conveyed intentions to bolster bilateral ties, with special focus on the energy sector.
According to official reports from Akorda, the discussions focused on the potential for Kazakhstan-Venezuela collaboration, with President Tokayev extending an official invitation for President Maduro to make a state visit to Kazakhstan for further discussions.
During the meeting, President Tokayev reminisced about Kazakhstan's role in World War II, emphasizing the sacrifices made by its people. He viewed Venezuela as an important partner and acknowledged that despite objective reasons, significant achievements in cooperation have yet to be attained.
President Maduro, in response, expressed enthusiasm for discussing future cooperation and recognized the 80th anniversary of the Victory as a globally significant event. He noted that nations who were part of the Soviet Union played a key role in the war's outcome.
The talks also touched upon the expansion of trade and economic cooperation, with particular attention given to the energy sector. As a result, both parties agreed to prepare and exchange lists of priority export products to identify potential growth points for cooperation between the two nations.
It's worth noting that the meeting took place amidst Venezuela's strategic partnership agreement with Russia, which signifies a regional convergence of interests in sectors such as energy, transportation, and pharmaceuticals. The meeting also followed President Tokayev's arrival in Moscow, where he was participating in the 80th anniversary of Victory Day festivities and holding additional meetings.
Looking ahead, the state visit by President Maduro to Kazakhstan could provide a platform to bring diplomatic goodwill and high-level discussions to fruition, leading to substantive agreements and joint projects that strengthen both nations' economies, especially in the energy sector.
