In a meeting with investors of northeastern North Khorasan Province in Iran on Sunday, Yerbol Akhmetov said that Kazakhstan welcomed naming Almaty and Bojnourd, North Khorasan capital, as sister cities which was floated when a group of the province’s investors visited Kazakhstan earlier this year.
He also said that his country welcomed naming of a street and a square in Almaty as Bojnourd and vice versa.
Kazakhstan is one of the most important former Soviet republics in agriculture and animal husbandry and there are good grounds for investing in building materials.
Head of North Khorasan Chamber of Commerce Saeed Pourabadi said that a delegation of Kazakh businesses would pay a visit to the province later this year.
He said that the province has reached an agreement with Almaty University to open a research office in the university to facilitate research activities for North Khorasani experts.
Pourabadi also said that another agreement was reached with the governor of Almaty to cede two hectares of land to North Khorasan Chamber of Commerce to hold an exhibition of its products.
Vice versa, North Khorasan agreed to cede the same area of land in the province to Kazakh business to showcase their products.
Among other agreed issues are opening of a tourism office in Almaty municipality and establishing a medical center by Khorasani investors, according to Pourabadi.
