The main document defining the priority areas of bilateral efforts to develop interstate relations is the Treaty on Friendship and Cooperation between the Republic of Belarus and the Republic of Kazakhstan signed in Minsk on 17 January 1996. The bilateral legal framework features more than 80 international agreements between the two countries. Bilateral dialogue at the high and highest levels, inter-parliamentary and inter-regional cooperation have been developing dynamically.
