Mr. Deripaska briefed the President on the JV between Samruk-Energo [state-run power company of Kazakhstan] and RUSAL, the world's largest aluminium and alumina producer, at the Bogatyr coal mine in Kazakhstan. “The JV has decided to introduce advanced technology with a view of boosting coal production output by 20%. We have also come up with technical solutions to decrease hazardous emissions almost 40 times”, the Press Service quoted Mr. Deripaska as saying. According to the Economist Intelligence Unit , Bogatyr, the largest open-pit coal mine in the world, is located in Ekibastuz in the north-eastern region of Kazakhstan.

The joint venture intends to increase production to 60m tonnes annually. President Nazarbayev and Oleg Deripaska also discussed plans of future investment projects. “We have discussed issues related to machinery building (…) We are considering a memorandum to launch an assembly facility manufacturing railway cars. A JV is to be launched following the approval of the memorandum. In the first 1.5 years we plan to only assemble railway cars, with the entire manufacturing process to be launched later on”, the Russian businessman said. Mr. Deripaska also pointed out that the Presidents of Kazakhstan and Russia had opened a new page in the bilateral relationship of the two nations, putting in place a single market within the Customs Union. “The single market compels businesses to strengthen their competitive edge, securing greater efficiency.
