Kazakhstan and Russia: new horizons of strategic partnership

"Izvestia" publishes an article by the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev on the eve of the state visit of Russian leader Vladimir Putin to Astana

Earlier in the day, ahead of Putin's visit to Kazakhstan, his article was published in the Kazakhstanskaya Pravda publication. There he noted that cooperation between the two countries is truly allied in nature and continues to actively develop in all areas.

Tokayev, in turn, published an article in Izvestia, where he pointed out that the strategic partnership between Russia and Kazakhstan and their alliance are based on close historical and cultural ties, as well as on shared responsibility for the future of the two peoples.

In early July, Putin and Tokayev met in Astana on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit. The Russian president noted that he is in constant contact with his Kazakh counterpart, and Russia is one of the republic's main trade and economic partners. During these talks, Tokayev invited Putin to pay an official visit to Kazakhstan in November. The two leaders also held telephone talks in late August.
