Tokayev congratulates Trump on 250th anniversary of U.S. Independence

The Kazakh leader congratulated the U.S. President on the 250th anniversary of American independence, emphasizing that over the relatively short course of history - within the span of three generations - the country had succeeded in becoming a powerful global power.

President Tokayev stated that the common-sense approach underlying the domestic policies of the U.S. administration is, in essence, in harmony with Kazakhstan’s strategy of building a Just Kazakhstan based on the principle of Law and Order. He therefore expressed his support for President Trump’s policy in this regard.

The two leaders exchanged views on bilateral economic cooperation and political interaction.

Tokayev highlighted the strong momentum in implementing the important agreements reached during his visit to Washington in November of last year.

The Kazakh president reaffirmed Kazakhstan’s unwavering position on the inadmissibility of the proliferation of nuclear weapons and enriched uranium, as well as the importance of cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to strengthen the international safeguards regime.

The conversation also included a positive assessment of Tokayev’s recent meetings and talks at the Akorda presidential residence with Senator Steve Daines, U.S. Presidential Special Envoy Sergio Gor, and other senior representatives of the White House and the American business community.

In conclusion, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev invited Donald Trump to pay an official visit to Kazakhstan at a time convenient for him.

Earlier, Qazinform reported Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev had had a meeting with Agriculture Minister Aidarbek Saparov.
