Azevedo assured that the WTO Secretariat will give Kazakhstan all the necessary support it needs to join the WTO. Nazarbayev asked the EU to assist in concluding WTO membership talks.
The Kazakh leader expressed confidence that joining the WTO would be an additional guarantee for European investors and would improve the investment and business climate in the country in the context of the global competition.
