Economic Cooperation Program between the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Kyrgyz Republicin 2001-2005
The development of economic ties between the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Kyrgyz Republic is conditioned by the production, scientific and technical ties that have historically developed between the leading sectors of the economy of the two states, and the objective need to preserve and further develop them on a mutually beneficial and equitable basis. A significant share of chemical and petrochemical products, coal, metallurgical products and mineral products consumed by the economy of the Kyrgyz Republic is supplied from the Republic of Kazakhstan.
