Tokayev arrived in Ankara on Monday, July 28, for an official visit. At Ankara Esenboga Airport, he was received by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Erdoğan rarely welcomes foreign heads of state personally at the airport—such a gesture is usually reserved for leaders of particularly friendly nations.

On July 29, the two presidents will hold talks aimed at further strengthening the enhanced strategic partnership between Kazakhstan and Turkey.
