Kazakhstan's Ambassador to India Doulat Kuanyshev called on Vice President Mohammad Hamid Ansari on Thursday to inform him that he was completing his diplomatic assignment in India.

Both agreed that the potential for furher development of bilateral trade and economic relations had not been implemented in full, and added that further growth was possible.
In this regard, Ambassador Kuanyshev paid attention to the upcoming opening of the Kazakhstan-Turkmenistan-Iran railway this November, which he said could give a new impetus to bilateral trade and economic ties between Kazakhstan and India.
Vice President Ansari congratulated Ambassador Kuanyshev on his new appointment as his country's Ambassador to Israel and wished him further success.
