President Tokayev meets with President of German Bundesrat

President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev held a meeting with Anke Rehlinger, President of the German Bundesrat. The country is one of Kazakhstan’s key strategic partners in the European Union (EU) and is one of the leading investors in the Kazakh economy, the Head of State emphasized. Tokayev and Rehlinger discussed issues of strengthening trade, economic, cultural, and humanitarian cooperation between the countries. The Head of State highlighted large-scale political reforms implemented in recent years, as well as the priorities of Kazakhstan’s economic policy.

«We believe that the focus should now be on creating and developing major infrastructure projects, digitalization, and artificial intelligence. We also consider transport logistics and, of course, agriculture as key areas for growth,» Tokayev said.

«Thank you very much for taking the time to exchange ideas and thoughts. I will convey your greetings to Federal President Steinmeier. He is a great friend of Kazakhstan and Central Asia. As a middle power, Kazakhstan is our key partner in the region and a trusted one,» Rehlinger noted.
