Germany’s Economy and Technology Ministry reported that some 50 deals were signed but declined to give details.
Earlier, the Kazakh Foreign Ministry said agreements on raw materials, industry, and technology would be finalized.
Nazarbaev’s trip is his first visit to a Western country since clashes in December between security forces and oil workers in the western city of Zhanaozen left at least 16 people dead.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel, after talks with Nazarbaev, said she “energetically supported the president appointing a committee of inquiry to bring to light what happened.”
Nazarbaev defended the police crackdown, while conceding that the deaths were “regrettable.”
