President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev attended the inaugural Board of Peace meeting in Washington, D.C.. In his address, he thanked U.S. President Donald
Trump for organizing the event. The Head of State believes the Board of Peace responds to modern challenges and
can reinforce existing
international mechanisms. This innovative concept, he stated, has every chance to become a reality through
joint efforts. Separately, the President expressed Kazakhstan’s readiness to join
international efforts to stabilize and rebuild the Gaza Strip.
«Kazakhstan is also keen to be part of the
restoration and construction process through international companies with
strong credentials. As one of the
world’s major producers of wheat, Kazakhstan is ready to provide humanitarian
assistance to enhance food security in Gaza and beyond. Kazakhstan plans to
provide five hundred educational scholarships to Palestinian students to pursue
academic programmes in our universities over a five-year period. We can share
our internationally recognized e-government expertise and other digital
solutions. Kazakhstan is willing to support the International Stabilization Force,» Tokayev said.
The Head of State noted that sustainable development in the Middle East requires new cooperation mechanisms aimed at promoting peace and building trust in the region. He said that guided by this conviction, Kazakhstan decided to join the Abraham Accords. Given the global nature of the Board’s agenda, the President reaffirmed Kazakhstan’s readiness to provide practical support.
«I would also like to propose to establish
a special President Trump’s award of the Board of Peace to recognize his
outstanding peacebuilding efforts and achievements. I am confident that under
your, Mr. President, strong leadership the Board will successfully deliver its
great noble mission,» Tokayev noted.
