Kassym-Jomart Tokayev welcomed the Israeli leader, who arrived in Kazakhstan on an official visit.
“I would like to note that your respected father, Chaim Herzog, former President of the State of Israel, was one of the main architects of relations between our countries. For many years, since 1992, we have maintained very close and exceptionally friendly relations,” Tokayev said.
As the Head of State noted, significant results have been achieved in mutual cooperation, primarily in the economy, as well as in politics.
“I would also like to emphasize that Kazakhstan has decided to join the Abraham Accords. This step symbolizes our readiness and intention to contribute to stabilizing relations between the countries of the Middle East and Israel. Today we will discuss many issues related to bilateral economic ties. I believe that the potential of our cooperation is enormous, and it must be fully utilized,” Kassym-Jomart Tokayev added.
The President of Israel emphasized that it was a great honor for him to be in Akorda, continuing the path of his father Chaim Herzog, who visited Kazakhstan in 1993.
“Visiting Kazakhstan has been my long-standing and sincere dream. I have heard a lot about the beauty of your country’s nature and the wonderful culture of the Kazakh people. A representative delegation of industry experts has arrived with me, capable of giving impetus to our partnership, especially in the field of high technologies. The potential of our cooperation, at a time when the world is entering a new historical era, is truly enormous,” Isaac Herzog said.
The President of Israel also welcomed Kazakhstan’s decision to join the Abraham Accords and participate in the work of the Peace Council.
