The EU will simplify the visa issuance
process for Kazakh citizens. The start of the procedure for concluding the
relevant agreement was announced today at a meeting between President
Kassym-Jomart Tokayev and Kaja Kallas, the EU High Representative for Foreign
Affairs and Security Policy, and the Vice-President of the European Commission,
in Almaty. As the Head of State noted, this step opens up broad opportunities
for strengthening contacts and business ties with European countries. The parties
also exchanged views on topical issues on the international and regional
agenda. According to Tokayev, Kazakhstan invariably adheres to the position of
finding solutions to all acute international problems and conflicts through
diplomatic negotiations.
