During the conversation, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev conveyed his best regards to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. He also invited the British leader to visit our country at any time convenient for him, which would be a good opportunity to discuss several issues of strengthening bilateral ties.

In turn, James Cleverly noted the positive dynamics of relations between Astana and London. He said the United Kingdom positively assesses the ongoing political reforms in Kazakhstan.

“Your country is the UK’s primary trading partner in the region. We are finding good opportunities to work together on the economic growth plans that you have. And the regulatory and tax reform agenda that you have put in place is one that I think will help boost our economic relationship,” James Cleverly said.

During the talks, the parties also exchanged views on topical issues of the regional and international agenda.
