Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, is due to arrive in Pakistan today on an official visit.

The February 3-4 trip is President Tokayev’s first state visit to Pakistan.

He will be accompanied by a high-level delegation, comprising senior cabinet ministers and other high-ranking officials.

During the visit, President Tokayev is scheduled to meet President Asif Ali Zaradi and will hold talks with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.

He is also expected to address the Pakistan-Kazakhstan Business Forum. 

The visit will provide the two sides with an important and timely opportunity to undertake a comprehensive review of bilateral relations, discuss new avenues for broadening cooperation, particularly in trade, logistics, regional connectivity, people-to-people contacts, and explore collaboration at regional and international forums, the Foreign Office said in a statement.

The forthcoming visit reflects the strengthening bonds between Pakistan and Kazakhstan, their mutual commitment to transforming historic and cultural affinities into robust cooperation, and their common desire for peace and progress in the region.
