Dear Kasym-Zhomart Kemelievich, good evening. First of all, I would like to thank you for taking the time for a formal state visit according to the agreed regulations. I am sincerely happy about this. Of course, we often keep in touch, but despite that, such agreements are also important in relations between countries. Today, we will have the opportunity to sit in an informal setting and discuss all particularly interesting issues. Tomorrow, we will discuss the entire agenda of our bilateral relations with our colleagues and look ahead to the future. However, overall, I believe we will end this year well and make plans for short-term, future, and medium-term prospects. I am glad to see you. Welcome!
