According to Xinhua, Kazakh Prime Minister Karim Massimov met Chinese State Councilor Meng Jianzhu on the sidelines of the second sitting of the interior ministers of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization ( SCO) member states.

Speaking highly the development of the Sino-Kazakhstan relationship, Massimov said that fruitful results have been achieved in the two countries' close contacts via pragmatic cooperation in various fields.
