President Nursultan Nazarbaev ended his official visit to China on 19 May. On the final day of his visit, he attended a business forum in Urumqi, capital of the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region (XUAR), a region that accounts for nearly 70 percent of the $3 billion annual trade volume between China and Kazakhstan. In a statement he delivered in Urumqi to the Kazakh press, Nazarbaev summed up the results of his trip, stressing the importance of Kazakhstan\'s agreement with China on the construction of the Atasu-Alashankou oil pipeline. Nazarbaev called the pipeline \"a new route for future Kazakh oil.\" \"This is the diversification and multivector approach I have been talking about. I think that neither the West nor Russia should harbor any unease about this,\" he said. (KazInform)
