ASTANA (Reuters) – Germany is interested in expanding trade with Kazakhstan while also ensuring such trade is not used to circumvent EU sanctions on Russia, Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on a visit to the Central Asian nation.
Both Scholz and his Kazakh counterpart Kassym-Jomart Tokayev said their countries were interested in growing trade in oil, rare earths, lithium and other raw materials.
