Following the signing of intergovernmental documents, Mr. Karimov publicly stated that Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan are not competitors to each other as conditions in the two countries are absolutely different and the countries’ tasks do not overlap. “There has been no competition (…) the two nations rely on absolutely different natural resources (…) with cotton industry being the mainstay of the Uzbek agriculture and Kazakhstan mostly relying on grain industry”, he said. He also emphasized that the talks had been fruitful to further ties between the two nations, with the agreement on strategic partnership reflecting priorities of the long-term partnership in the economic and culture realms. Among other things the two Heads of State dwelt on use of water resources and exchanged their opinion on the current situation in Central Asia. “We have reiterated our shared responsibility for the future of the two countries’ people, (…) taking into account the lingering global financial crisis, its hard-to-predict repercussions for the region and adjacent territories, escalating extremism, tensions over the planned withdrawal of ISAF forces from Afghanistan”, Mr. Karimov said, stressing that the two nations would be taking all the necessary measures to keep peace in the region. According to Kazakhstan’s President Nursultan Nazarbayev, interaction of the two nations would have a direct impact on stability in the region.
