Chairman of the board of JSC Uzbekistan Railways Kh. Khasilov met with the Chairman of the board of JSC National Company Kazakhstan Temir Zholy S. Minbayev. The parties discussed the further development of bilateral cooperation in general, and also considered issues regarding freight and passenger traffic.

During the talks, topical issues, implementation of which plays an important role in the development of bilateral relations, were comprehensively analyzed and important tasks were identified.
