The President of Slovenia expressed her sincere gratitude to Kassym-Jomart Tokayev for the warm welcome he gave her and her delegation.

"For 33 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between our countries, there has not been a single unresolved issue. You rightly noted that this provides conditions for expanding and deepening economic cooperation. That is why a large business delegation came with me. They have already begun discussing promising areas of partnership with their Kazakh colleagues. Economic exchange is growing, but I still think we can achieve more. Contacts between presidents and politicians are always a step forward, because politicians must open doors for business," said Natasa Pirc Musar.

During the talks, an exchange of views also took place on a wide range of issues on the global and regional agenda.
