Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, after meeting with Kazakh President Kassim-Jomart Tokayev in Astana, said that a wide range of opportunities for cooperation in the energy sector, from the development of hydrocarbon deposits to the transportation of minerals, were discussed.

He also spoke about strengthening the foundations of energy security and diversification of sources of energy carriers.

“We want large volumes of oil exported from Kazakhstan to reach world markets through the territory of our country. We are working to revitalize the “Middle Corridor” across the Caspian Sea by integrating our rail links, port infrastructure and digital customs systems. Our goal is not only to bring our countries even closer, but also to ensure the most competitive position of the Eurasian region in the world economy,” Erdogan said.
