Bakı, 28 avqust (AzərTAc). Kazakhstan is interested in transporting hydrocarbon resources from the Caspian to the European and Asian countries, said Kazakh ambassador in Azerbaijan Serik Primbetov.
The diplomat stressed bilateral relations between the two nations are developing rapidly. He noted high-level meetings among Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Russia and Azerbaijan are scheduled in Aktau to discuss Caspian legal status, energy cooperation and other issues.
