Turkey and Kazakhstan agreed to improve ties on defense industry and sealed a deal to boost cooperation in space technology.
Ismail Demir, the head of Turkey’s Defense Industry Agency (SSB), accompanying Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan during his visit to Kazakhstan last week, said they had significant contacts with Kazakh officials to further improve the relations on defense industry.
Demir said they signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Kazakh Digital Development, Innovation, and Aerospace Industry Bagdat Musin on observation, communication, satellite, and subsystem manufacturing. Demir also said that he had a meeting with Kayirbek Usenbayev, the Minister of Industry and Infrastructure Development, exchanging views within the scope of cooperation between the two countries.
