Kuwait’s Crown Prince Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Sabah, President
Tokayev emphasized Kazakhstan’s commitment to strengthening bilateral
cooperation, noting that Kuwait could become one of the major investors in the Kazakh
economy.
Special attention was given to cooperation within the
Central Asia–Gulf Cooperation Council framework. The Head of State also met
with President of Rwanda Paul Kagame. The parties expressed interest in
expanding the partnership across all sectors. Tokayev invited his counterpart

signed next year at the High-Level Strategic Cooperation Council meeting in
Ankara.
