Seoul to host inaugural C5+K Summit in 2025
The inaugural C5+K Summit suggested by South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol is set to take place in Seoul in 2025, Kazinform News Agency correspondent reports.
According to Kazakh leader Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, the two presidents held important and constructive talks, both sharing views on international and regional issues.
"Astana and Seoul have close positions on the current issues. Both countries are keen on boosting multilateral cooperation. Agreement was reached to promote the dialogue between the Central Asian Five and Korea. Kazakhstan backs the Republic of Korea’s concept K — Silk Road. During today’s negotiations, an extensive talk took place on this matter. I support the Korean side’s proposal to hold the first Summit in this format next year in Seoul, which will give a new impetus to the bilateral and multilateral cooperation," said Tokayev.
The Kazakh leader stressed that today when both countries are concerned about different conflicts in the world, there is an increasing need for settlement of any conflict through dialogue.
"The UN Charter and the norms of international law should become a strong foundation. In doing so, we shared the view on bettering the ways towards global security and peace. Enhancement of multilateral ties between Kazakhstan and Korea fully meets the interests of the two countries. Today’s visit of Mr. President (of South Korea) is of special importance. We expect that this visit will give a new impetus to the promotion of mutual relations," said the Kazakh President.
