In addition to tourism, we also intend to strengthen trade and economic partnership. Our region can export melons, meat, and vegetables to Indonesia. We are ready for close cooperation.

My mission in this country is to strengthen the political and economic ties. You know that in a political sense, Indonesia and Kazakhstan are reliable partners. Now we intend to further develop the economic and trade relations. We invite you to participate in the tourism exhibition to be hosted by Indonesia next year. I am sure that our country will also contribute to tourism development in Turkestan. We need to relax the visa requirements between the two countries," the Ambassador emphasized.

At the end of the meeting, the sides exchanged memorable gifts. In addition, the guests got familiar with Turkestan's general urban development plan and projects.
