The coordination of WTO accession efforts of the member countries is another priority of EurAsEC.

As reported earlier, the 18th session of the EurAsEC intergovernmental council, attended by the heads of EurAsEC government, will be held in the Kazakh capital on Wednesday, 18 April.

During the talks with Tajik Prime Minister Oqil Oqilov, Karim Masimov said that "setting up Kazakh-Tajik joint construction joint ventures could give an additional impetus to developing bilateral relations".

At the same time, at the talks with his Uzbek colleague, the head of the Kazakh government said: "Kazakhstan is firmly geared up to continue a constructive political dialogue with Uzbekistan and encourages economic, cultural and humanitarian cooperation between the two countries."
