President Tokayev wrote: “Kazakhstan highly appreciates its long-standing strategic partnership with the UK that rests on strong bonds of friendship, shared values and priorities.

“In this vein, please rest assured of my readiness to work closely with you to further elevate the Kazakh-British multifaceted cooperation and coordinate our approaches on the pressing global issues.”
