The trade turnover between Kazakhstan and San Marino in 2018 amounted to $1,5 million, a 41% increase compared to the previous period ($1.1 million), reports Kazakh MFA.

April 14, 2019 marks 15 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Republic of San Marino.

From the very beginning, San Marino has demonstrated a desire to expand political, trade, economic, cultural and humanitarian cooperation with our country.

Economic ties between the two countries are consistently developing. The San Marino leadership considers Kazakhstan as a potential market for San Marino services and goods, and an active economic partner capable of facilitating the diversification of foreign economic activity. Despite the small size of the San Marino economy, trade turnover between the countries in 2018 amounted to $1.5 million, a 41% increase compared to the previous period ($1.1 million). This was facilitated by the visits to Kazakhstan by San Marino delegations led by Secretary of State for Industry and Commerce Marco Arzilli and Secretary of State for Tourism Teodoro Lonfernini.

Of particular importance is cultural and humanitarian cooperation with San Marino, which is enriched every year with various events, festivals and exhibitions.
