President Nazarbayev in Austria on official visit

    President Nursultan Nazarbayev is now in Austria on an official visit.
    This is the fourth visit on part of the president of Kazakhstan to Austria since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
    The president held talks with his counterpart Heinz Fischer in Vienna, which resulted in the signing of new agreements.
    The official ceremony for the meeting of the Presidents of Kazakhstan and Austria was held at the square in front of Hofburg Palace.
    This unique medieval complex served for many years as the winter residence for the Habsburg dynasty.
    Nazarbayev and Fischer discussed a range of cooperation issues connected to mechanical engineering, transport, telecommunications, medicine, tourism and education.
    Kazakhstan is mainly interested in advanced technology from Austria, while the latter sees its partnership with Kazakhstan from a strategic perspective, as Kazakhstan delivers one third of all oil supplied to Austria, Caspionet reports.
