Nursultan Nazarbaev made a working visit to China\'s Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region (XUAR) on 24-25 September, Khabar TV reported. He met with Wang Lequan, secretary of the XUAR Communist Party Committee, and the two signed an agreement to create an international border cooperation center at the Khorgos crossing. Nazarbaev said, \"The effective implementation of this project will allow large import-export companies from both countries to benefit from the advantages of cross-border trade.\" According to the Chinese side, the agreement will eventually open the door to a substantial increase in the $3.3 billion annual trade volume between the two countries. Nazarbaev also spoke by phone with Chinese President Hu Jintao. (Kazinform)
