Exciting activities at the beginning of the year: Today in Berlin, Head of Bureau Peter Liebelt met two representatives of the Embassy of the Republic of Kazakhstan in Germany for an exchange on the CLIENT II projects currently underway in the region. With Sergey Kuzmin (Secretary III) and Talgat Ibray (Embassy Counsellor and Head of the Economic Department), the key point of discussion was how the Kazakh side is willing and able to support the commercialisation and consolidation of the existing and expected project results. We are delighted that both embassy officials communicated to be pleased with the progress achieved to date and expressed willingness to facilitate future efforts in this context.
