- Russia and Kazakhstan have agreed to boost their partnership in the oil sector following talks between their respective presidents in the Kremlin on Wednesday.

Russian President Vladimir Putin and Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev concluded a two-day meeting in Moscow, where they were expected to discuss gas projects and the fallout from U.S. sanctions on Russian oil companies.

"We agreed to strengthen our partnership in the areas of oil, oil products, coal, and electricity production, transportation, and supply. We discussed in detail the prospects for gas cooperation, in particular gas supply to Kazakhstan’s regions bordering Russia, as well as transit to third countries," Tokayev said in televised remarks following the talks with Putin.
