BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 21. Pakistan is
interested in importing energy resources from Kazakhstan,
Ambassador of Kazakhstan to Pakistan Yerzhan Kistafin told Trend .
"Kazakhstan regularly receives requests from Pakistani friends
for the supply of Kazakh coal, oil, petroleum products, and gas.
The main issue on our agenda is logistics. We are closely following
the development of the so-called TAPI (Turkmenistan, Afghanistan,
Pakistan, India) project. We are closely monitoring the development
of projects such as CASA-1000. That is several regional projects.
And in this case, we must clearly understand that for the
development of cooperation between Kazakhstan and Pakistan, the
regional factor is of decisive or even predetermining importance,"
he said.
The ambassador noted that logistics is essential for the
delivery of the above goods.
"To deliver goods between our countries, we need to cross at
least two countries in the region. Be it Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan,
Afghanistan, even China, or Tajikistan. Our task at the current
stage is to create a sufficient transport and logistics
infrastructure that would allow us to deliver products, including
energy resources, painlessly, in a timely manner, and with high
quality," Kistafin concluded.
Meanwhile, the volume of trade turnover between Kazakhstan and
Pakistan amounted to $52.5 million in 2023, which is 40 percent
less than in 2022 ($73.5 million).
Kazakh exports to Pakistan last year amounted to $5.7 million,
while imports from Pakistan amounted to $46.8 million.
