India has extended support for the participation at the major international exposition EXPO-2017 to be held in Central Asia's biggest country Kazakhstan. The participation will give a new impetus to the strengthening of the Kazakh-Indian partnership. This decision was taken by the India after the visit of Rapil Zhoshybayev, Commissioner of the International specialized exhibition EXPO-2017 and First Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Kazakhstan to India.
While on three-day visit to India to promote Expo-2017 this week, Zhoshybayev has stated that objective behind his visit was to promote the main ideas and themes of the event, to get the Indian Government's official confirmation of participation in the event, to hold negotiations with the Indian leadership and to establish contact with leading Indian companies that have specialized in the sphere of alternative energy sources.
As far as India was concerned, Zhoshybayev has said that it has been agreed in principle to give New Delhi an additional 1000 square meters of space at the Expo-2017 venue so that it can maximize potential for promotion of clean sources of energy in the Indian context. Further, he also said that the Kazakh Government may allocate some more space away from the main exhibition venue to India. Besides, Kazakhstan and India are looking at new avenues for improving business ties. Easing visa procedures, having more flights between New Delhi and Astana, a plan for any individual to stay in Kazakhstan for three days without a visa and putting a system in place where buying an air ticket to Astana will give Indians free access to Expo-2017.
