President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev received a delegation from the U.S. House of Representatives. Welcoming the distinguished guests, the Head of State emphasized the symbolic significance of their visit, which took place following the recent elections to the unicameral Kurultai. President Tokayev described the elections as a historic event that marked a new stage in the country’s political modernization. The unicameral Kurultai is intended to make the legislative process more efficient and improve the quality of lawmaking. At the same time, parliamentary diplomacy will become an important area of activity for the new body. A constructive and substantive dialogue between members of the U.S. Congress and the Kurultai is of great importance for deepening the Kazakh-American partnership. President Tokayev also expressed confidence that his upcoming visit to Miami would give further impetus to bilateral cooperation.
«Our cooperation is comprehensive, encompassing a
wide-ranging agenda that spans political dialogue, economic engagement, and
collaboration on global peace and security issues. I deeply value bipartisan
support in Congress for closer Kazakh-American cooperation, which is
indispensable to the strategic continuity of our partnership,» President Tokayev noted.
President Tokayev emphasized that, thanks to constructive and trusting dialogue with President Donald Trump, relations between Kazakhstan and the United States have reached an unprecedented level. The two countries are cooperating effectively in a multilateral format. A clear testament to this is Kazakhstan’s support for U.S. initiatives aimed at promoting global and regional stability, including the Board of Peace and the Abraham Accords. Furthermore, Kazakhstan and the U.S. play an important role in strengthening nuclear security and the non-proliferation regime. In turn, Congressman Jason Smith, head of the U.S. delegation, thanked Kassym-Jomart Tokayev for the reception and conveyed warm greetings from the U.S. President.
«I got a phone call two in the morning from
President Donald Trump, and I told him that I was going to meet you in just a
few hours, and he told me to send his best to you, and appreciates the
relationship that you and him have. I’m
the Chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means
in the United States House of Representatives. What brought us here, is to look
at ways that we can continue to increase our economic relationship with the
United States and your beautiful country,» said Jason Smith, Chairman of the U.S. House
Ways and Means Committee.
