Tokayev: Kazakhstan, Türkiye can play key role in resolving regional issues

Kazakhstan and Türkiye can play an important role in addressing pressing regional issues, Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has stated.

Taking part in the 5th Antalya Diplomacy Forum in Türkiye, he said Türkiye played the leading role in their region under the leadership of the outstanding leader Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, his brother, Caliber.Az reports, citing local media.

“I believe that Kazakhstan and Türkiye can play a very positive, I would say, significant role in resolving the most acute issues that, unfortunately, arise from time to time in our region,” he noted.

Tokayev added that he is expecting the Turkish president for a state visit to Kazakhstan scheduled for May 14.

He further emphasised that, despite the complexity of current international challenges, they require joint efforts and coordination among regional states.
