Thanks to such books, our children can learn more about the culture of other nations and enrich their inner world," well-known Kazakh poet Nesipbek Aituly said at the presentation. "Kazakhstan and South Korea are currently implementing large economic projects, but, I strongly believe that relations between youngsters and cultural exchange are the most important things for the future," said South Korean Ambassador Pak Chu-Khen hailing Dastan Akash for invaluable contribution to the Kazakh-South Korean relations.
