November 27 will see talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Kazakh counterpart Kassym-Jomart Tokayev in Astana as part of Putin’s two-day state visit to Kazakhstan.
Following the closed-door, face-to-face and expanded talks, Putin and Tokayev will sign a joint statement on deepening strategic cooperation.
The document touches upon the most pressing issues of political dialogue, trade and economic cooperation, as well as cultural and humanitarian ties, according to Russia’s presidential aide Yury Ushakov.
A total of two dozen agreements on energy, transport, healthcare and other areas are expected to be inked following the talks, including a protocol on extending the December 2010 bilateral intergovernmental agreement on trade and economic cooperation related to oil supplies to Kazakhstan.
