Today, a ceremony for the presentation of credentials by the Ambassadors Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of nine countries – Moldova, Vietnam, the Republic of Korea, South Africa, Slovakia, Germany, Azerbaijan, Slovenia, and Namibia – was held at the Palace of Independence in Astana. In his welcoming remarks, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev noted Kazakhstan’s commitment to a peaceful foreign policy.
«Kazakhstan, you know, is a country which is pursuing a very peaceful external policy in this very complex geopolitical context. But anyway, we believe that peace must prevail, and we will be doing our best in order to sustain peace, security, and cooperation here in Central Asia as well as beyond,» President Tokayev noted.
In addition, President Tokayev spoke about the ongoing large-scale political reforms, the logical continuation of which will be the historic elections to the Kurultai. The Head of State also highlighted the country’s economic and investment potential and reaffirmed Astana’s interest in strengthening and developing multifaceted cooperation.
«You know that all major international companies are
being present here on our market, and I believe that this basic policy, of
course, will have a follow-up and will be very much firm and steadfast in order
to continue pursuing this policy of so-called open doors, as far as investments
from abroad are concerned,» President Tokayev added.
