Tokayev: The perspective of achieving peace in Middle East still exists

At a briefing, a foreign media representative asked:

“You have often said that Kazakhstan positions itself on the international stage as a middle power. Your country has joined the Board of Peace created by Trump. How do you assess the future of the Board of Peace in the context of current developments in the Middle East? Do you believe this initiative is viable or not? Why did you decide to take part in this initiative of Donald Trump?”

The Head of State emphasized his respect for the U.S. President and expressed support for his approach to international politics.

“First of all, I would like to note that I have great respect for the President of the United States. His strategy, based on common sense, seems very sound and deserves support. Speaking about the Board of Peace, I was attracted by the very idea of this initiative, its innovative approach to solving the most complex problems of the international agenda,” Tokayev said.

He explained that the initiative combines traditional diplomacy with the potential of major businesses, aiming to bring real benefits to ordinary people, especially in Gaza.

“People around the world are already tired of endless conferences where resolutions of good intentions are adopted, read only by a small number of people. That is why I consider it necessary to support this idea, as it offers a new approach,” he noted.

Tokayev described Donald Trump as a strong personality and a bold leader. He expressed confidence that the perspective of achieving peace in the Middle East, particularly in Palestine, still exists.

“I sincerely hope for the successful future of this initiative,” he concluded.
