highest state honor, the Devlet Nişanı, from President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan for
his contribution to the development of cooperation between the two countries.
«I regard this high honor as a sign of deep respect from the
Turkish side toward the entire people of Kazakhstan. This gracious gesture
symbolizes the enduring friendship between our nations, which share common
roots, religion, and cultural heritage. It also represents an important step
that reflects the spirit of our shared values and underscores our mutual
aspiration to further strengthen Kazakh-Turkish strategic cooperation,» Tokayev

The Head of State described his Turkish counterpart as an
influential global leader who has made an invaluable contribution to enhancing
regional and global stability and security. He also praised Erdoğan’s personal
role in strengthening Kazakh-Turkish relations.
«We have achieved significant success in the trade and
economic sphere. Our cultural and humanitarian ties continue to strengthen year
by year. We also cooperate closely on the international stage. Astana and
Ankara share a common stance on issues of global sustainable development and
security. I would particularly like to highlight our effective efforts within
the Organization of Turkic States. Today, we see great potential to further
expand our bilateral cooperation and elevate it to a new qualitative level,» Tokayev
