"On behalf of the President, temporary government, Prime-Minister and on behalf of the people of Madagascar, I would like to express a huge gratitude to you for your warm welcome and support that you have rendered to Madagascar. This is our first time in Kazakhstan, in the country that is for us an example of democracy and development. We would like to take your democratic development and skills as a basis for our country. We share common values and value unity of our people; we also want to reach independence without forgetting to restore neighborly and friendly relations with other countries. Our nation has Asian and African roots, that's why Madagascar is considered a bridge between Asia and Africa. That's why we want to establish good relations with Asian countries and especially with such a developed country like Kazakhstan," Madagascar Foreign Minister Pierrot Jocelyn Rajaonarivelo said. Kazakhstan Foreign Minister also noted that diplomatic relations between Kazakhstan and Madagascar were established on April 10, 1992, via an exchange of notes.
