Tokayev to visit Türkiye at Erdogan's invitation

Tengrinews.kz — From October 28 to 30, Head of State Kassym-Jomart Tokayev will pay an official visit to Türkiye at the invitation of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. This was announced on Telegram by Aibek Smadiyarov, Adviser and Press Secretary to the President of Kazakhstan.

During the visit to Ankara, the heads of state will hold talks aimed at further strengthening the enhanced strategic partnership.

The President of Kazakhstan will also attend the 13th Summit of the Organization of Turkic States.

Note:The Organization of Turkic States (OTS) is an international association of Turkic-speaking nations established to strengthen cooperation in politics, economics, culture, education, and other spheres. The organization includes Kazakhstan, Türkiye , Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan, with several countries holding observer status.

An informal summit of the leaders of the Organization of Turkic States was held in Turkestan this spring. While the primary focus of the meeting was artificial intelligence and digital development, the President of Kazakhstan addressed a much broader range of topics in his speech. Among other things, he spoke on preserving the shared spiritual values of the Turkic world and responded to those who characterize the OTS as a "geopolitical project or military alliance".
