«Over nearly 35 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations, cooperation between Kazakhstan and Türkiye has developed steadily and reached a qualitatively new level. There are no contradictions or disagreements between the two countries. On May 14, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan will pay a state visit to Kazakhstan. During the visit, we will hold the next meeting of the Strategic Cooperation Council and sign a number of new agreements,» Tokayev said.
«I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the
warm reception. I also extend greetings from the President of Türkiye, Recep
Tayyip Erdoğan, and the Turkish people. We are confident that the consistent
reforms being implemented in Kazakhstan under your leadership will strengthen
the country’s resilience. We sincerely wish that the new Constitution adopted
in the referendum will serve the continued development of the country,» Yılmaz said.
