ASTANA, November 27. /TASS/. President Vladimir Putin is confident that the documents on interaction between Russia and Kazakhstan prepared for signing will strengthen the interaction between the two countries.

"All the documents that colleagues have prepared for our meeting today will strengthen the regulatory framework and will be a good basis for further progress," the head of the Russian state said at talks with his Kazakh counterpart Kassym-Jomart Tokayev in an expanded format.

According to Putin, "despite all the difficulties of today, interaction is only expanding and becoming more interesting and mutually beneficial for both sides."

He drew attention to the increasing volume of cooperation, noting that trade turnover last year almost reached $30 billion.
