Yerevan, September 19 (Xinhua) — The 11th meeting of the intergovernmental commission on economic cooperation between Armenia and Kazakhstan, co-chaired by Deputy Prime Ministers Mher Grigoryan and Serik Zhumangarin, was held online on Friday, the Armenian government's press service reported.

M. Grigoryan noted the importance of developing relations between Armenia and Kazakhstan, including within the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). He also pointed to the two countries' significant untapped potential in trade and economic partnership.

The Armenian Deputy Prime Minister placed particular emphasis on bilateral cooperation in the transport sector, stating that the country's government supports the project to create a multimodal freight transport route from Kazakhstan to Armenia through Turkmenistan and Iran. According to M. Grigoryan, existing freight shipments along the China-Kazakhstan-Uzbekistan-Turkmenistan-Iran-Armenia route demonstrate growing interest in expanding transport and logistics ties between the two countries.

"I believe these freight shipments could become regular, given the potential interest of Armenian entrepreneurs in the capabilities of the Khorgos International Border Cooperation Center, located on the Kazakh-Chinese border," M. Grigoryan emphasized.

Following the meeting, the Deputy Prime Ministers of Armenia and Kazakhstan signed a protocol, which included issues on the agenda of bilateral relations, including cooperation in the areas of trade, economics, high technology, transport, tourism, healthcare, and education.
