What agreements have been reached on resolving the financial difficulties of the joint venture “KazTransGas-Tbilisi”?
– Yes, there are some misunderstandings. But both sides are ready to make all possible efforts to resolve these problems. Both sides will approach this problem, and ways to overcome it should be found by the time of the arrival of Kazakh Premier Karim Maksimov to Tbilisi, scheduled this year for September-October. This means we have six more months to complete work on this problem. I can state that our Kazakh partners have no intention of recalling investments from Georgia. On the contrary, during the negotiations new directions in cooperation have been found. – Could you please give more details? – For example we have discussed the issue of such an important and strategic benefit as wheat. As you know, Kazakhstan follows a policy of diversification of export routes to world markets. There are routes through Russia, Ukraine and China, but there is also a Transcaucasian route, which runs through the territory of Georgia and our seaports. This is another alternative export route for Kaza
