"Today we've had very productive talks and discussed issues of bilateral cooperation, identified top priorities. I was able to meet with business leaders in Indonesia, to view an exhibition of products that are produced here. I think this visit is clear evidence that Kazakhstan intends to intensify its dialogue with Indonesia, one of the largest countries in the Islamic world, both at the highest level and at the level of ministries and agencies.

An important step will be the opening of the Kazakh Embassy in Jakarta, which has already taken place, and the Ambassador was appointed. We have also agreed to hold Days of Culture of Indonesia in Kazakhstan and Days of Culture of Kazakhstan in Indonesia in 2013 and 2014," Nursultan Nazarbayev said.
