Tokayev met with Turkmenistan's President Serdar Berdimuhamedov while the latter was on his first official visit to Kazakhstan.
"Our goal is to ensure the growth of bilateral trade to $500 million in the coming years, and in the foreseeable future we will be able to reach the [one] billion mark," Tokayev said during the meeting.
Tokayev noted that, thanks to the joint measures, the bilateral trade turnover doubled last year, exceeding $250 million.
"The positive dynamics continued this year — a twofold growth in mutual trade has been achieved in seven months," the Kazakh president said, adding that a number of joint projects in various sectors of the economy have been under implementation.
Tokayev and Berdimuhamedov signed a comprehensive cooperation program for 2022-2024, as well as 10 other documents concerning the bilateral relations. Memorandums on cooperation were also signed by representatives of the countries' ministries of finance, agriculture and internal affairs.
