According to the Senate Speaker, industry, IT and green technology, ecotourism can become promising areas of interaction.
During the meeting, the sides discussed global issues of the international agenda. The head of the Senate noted Harstedt's active work as the Special Envoy of the Government of Sweden for North Korea and Myanmar.

For possible collaboration, we propose the platform of Nur-Sultan, in particular, the Foundation of the First President of Kazakhstan, which comprises experienced specialists, including those with sound experience in peacemaking activities," said Dariga Nazarbayeva.
