Menilbekov explained that his country’s foreign policy is diverse and will help solve several international crises and promote international cooperation.

He noted that 2023 would be a significant year for Kazakhstan, and parliamentary elections in the country will take place in the first half of the year, which will ensure political competition and pluralism.

“The world is facing a number of challenges due to current geopolitical and economic issues,” he said, stressing that the close cooperation between the two countries is important, and Kazakhstan is committed to strengthening its relations with all countries and partners.
