Hyderabad, February 10
Hyderabad now has an Honorary Consulate of Kazakhstan. It was opened here on Wednesday by Ambassador of Kazakhstan to India Yerlan Alimbayev. Kazakhstan hopes to improve bilateral trade, economic and cultural ties between the two countries.
Alimbayev told media persons that Kazakhstan was India’s main trade-economic partner in Central Asia and the trade between the two had reached a turnover of USD 2.4 billion in 2020.
This exceeds the total turnover with all other countries in the region and there is a huge potential to develop trade cooperation, he said.
The Ambassador said Kazakhstan was the biggest uranium supplier to India and had supplied 9,000 tonnes so far and India sourced nearly 80 per cent of its uranium requirement from them.
