Akorda hosted a ceremonial welcome for the Crown Prince of
Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, who arrived in
Kazakhstan on an official visit. Welcoming the distinguished guest, President
Kassym-Jomart Tokayev emphasized the significance of the visit in further
boosting bilateral relations. The United Arab Emirates is one of Kazakhstan’s
key partners. In 2023, the governments of both countries signed a Joint
Declaration on the implementation of strategic investment projects. Last year,
direct investment inflows from the UAE to Kazakhstan more than doubled,
reaching record levels.
«Your country is among top 10 foreign investors to
Kazakhstan. During your milestone visit, we will witness the signing of more
than 20 business agreements worth almost $5 billion, and I am confident that
the full implementation of these projects will give a powerful boost to our
multifaceted cooperation and serve the best interests of our nations,» Tokayev said.
For his part, Sheikh Khaled expressed his gratitude for the
warm welcome and noted that he is once again visiting Kazakhstan with special
regard for the country, which he deeply values for its natural beauty and the
hospitality of its people. He emphasized that relations between the two
countries are built on trust, mutual support, and a shared commitment to
development.
«Over the years, this relationship has grown steadily,
expanding well beyond its early foundations in trade and investment. Our
collaboration now reflects much broader scope, reaching into energy, transport,
digital infrastructure, and more. The agreements being formalized today
highlight the strengthened clarity of our shared priorities,» Sheikh Khaled said.
