Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev’s state visit to
France began with a solemn welcoming ceremony. French President Emmanuel Macron
greeted the Head of State with the fanfare of a military orchestra, and the
national anthems of Kazakhstan and France were performed. The Guard of Honor
marched in front of the Presidents. Following that, the members of the official
delegations were mutually introduced. The main negotiations between the Heads
of State continued at the Élysée Palace. It is worth noting that France is one
of Kazakhstan’s main trading partners in Europe, and the parties are set to
expand and strengthen their partnership.
