and SEAS, marking the beginning of a new phase of collaboration.
"By signing this memorandum we are taking an important step towards
strengthening cooperation with our European partners," said
Meirzhan Yussupov, CEO of Kazatomprom. "Nuclear energy plays a key role in
ensuring sustainable energy supply in Slovakia. We believe this memorandum
will lay the foundation for strong and mutually beneficial relations between
our companies."

turn, emphasized the strategic importance of diversifying nuclear fuel supply
sources and expressed confidence in the prospects of the long-term cooperation
