First Deputy Foreign Minister Akan Rakhmetullin spoke about the impact of anti-Russian sanctions on Kazakhstan, Kazpravda.kz correspondent reports.
He acknowledged that this issue is very complex and serious.
As the vice minister noted, the United States imposed unprecedented sanctions on Russia and a number of individuals.
“Naturally, having deep integration between our countries, the longest land border in the world, we cannot stand aside without the impact of these sanctions, therefore, you can all see how this even affects pricing policy, the situation in stores. But I wanted to assure you that the government is in very active negotiations at all levels with US representatives. The American side has an understanding that we have a very interdependent market, an interdependent economy, and the American side is doing its best to mitigate and minimize the impact of these sanctions on the Kazakh economy. Work in this direction will continue in the future,” Rakhmetullin assured.
