Fradkov said.
When answering a question on Baikonur, the Russian PM noted that “Baikonur has been successfully operating; there are concrete projects – KazSat, KazSat-2 and Baiterek - being currently implemented; social issues of the Kazakhstan’s citizens [over 2.5 thousand of them living in the city] are being effectively attended to. There is a special agreement currently under development to regulate the issues. This is a solid foundation to build upon”.
