The promising areas include cooperation in the manufacturing industry and agricultural sector, as well as technological development. Special attention was paid to intensifying business contacts for the practical implementation of joint initiatives.

Concluding the meeting, Daniyar Imanaliev invited Mohammad Nazrul Islam to participate in the Eurasian Economic Forum events, to be held on May 28-29 in Astana.
