Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev held a meeting with
Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, who is expected to take part in the
Eurasian Intergovernmental Council and the Digital Almaty 2025 forum. The
interlocutors discussed the prospects for developing Kazakh-Russian strategic
partnership, with a particular focus on strengthening trade, economic, and
investment cooperation, including within the EAEU. The Head of State noted the
importance of implementing the agreements reached during Russian President Vladimir
Putin’s state visit to Astana last November. Mikhail Mishustin confirmed readiness
to implement the tasks set and shared the outcomes of the negotiations between
the government delegations of the two countries. President Tokayev accepted the
invitation from the President of Russia to attend events dedicated to the 80th
anniversary of Victory in World War II.
«During Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin’s visit to Kazakhstan,
a regional forum was successfully held in Ufa. This year, we have planned to
hold another forum in Oral, Kazakhstan. I believe this format of cooperation
undoubtedly brings valuable results,» Tokayev noted.
«The regional forum is very important for us. The regions of
Russia directly interact with many regions of Kazakhstan. As you said, this is
a very important format, and we will continue to do everything we can to
enhance its effectiveness. Kazakhstan is an ally of the Russian Federation. Our
relations are built on the principles of friendship and mutual respect,» Mishustin
said.
