Joachim Bertele, Deputy Director General for Asia and the Pacific at the German Federal Foreign Office, sits down with us on Interview of the Day. He discusses how to turn the more than 30 commercial agreements worth around $2 billion, signed during President Tokayev’s visit to Germany, into tangible economic results. He also talks about the Trans-Caspian transport corridor, green energy, diversification and how Berlin’s view of Central Asia has evolved. Finally, he looks at the people-to-people ties between the two countries, from universities to the planned Kazakh-German school.
