ASTANA. KAZINFORM - Prime Minister of Kazakhstan Karim Massimov has urged Croatian businessmen to invest into Kazakhstani economy.

"Today we've held meaningful talks and discussed ways to step up our cooperation with Croatian companies. Hopefully, our cooperation with Croatian business circles will help us gain access to the Balkans and EU markets," Prime Minister Massimov said after the bilateral talks with his Croatian counterpart Zoran Milanović in Astana. Karim Massimov went on to note that both Kazakhstan and Croatia are keen to establish closer trade and economic cooperation. "We've invited Croatian companies to do business in Kazakhstan, since it plays a role of the hub in the Eurasian region," the head of the Kazakh Government added.
