"It has been a worthwhile trade mission trip to Almaty for us. It has been very well organized and the meetings in general matched well. At least 2 of them may finally worked out in new business of good size. The rest will need further follow-up by ourselves for the moment. Thanks for all the work that has been put into this mission event."
