Mishustin is in Kazakhstan to participate in the Eurasian Intergovernmental Council and the Digital Almaty 2025 forum.
During the discussions, the parties explored avenues for the future development of the strategic partnership between Kazakhstan and Russia.
Focus was placed on enhancing trade and economic ties as well as investment collaboration within the framework of the Eurasian Economic Union.
The President of Kazakhstan acknowledged Mikhail Mishustin's significant contribution to strengthening relations between the two countries.
He also emphasized the importance of fulfilling the agreements signed during Russian President Vladimir Putin's state visit to Kazakhstan last November.
“Relations between our countries are on the rise and encompass nearly all areas of cooperation. We regard your visit to Astana as an important step in implementing the agreements reached at the highest level. During Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin's visit to Kazakhstan, a regional forum was successfully held in Ufa. This year, we have planned to hold another forum, this time in Uralsk, on the territory of Kazakhstan. I believe this format of cooperation undoubtedly yields beneficial results,” the President noted.
Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin stated that the Russian side is committed to further implementing the tasks set by the leaders of the two states.
He conveyed warm greetings from Russian President Vladimir Putin, recalling his visit to Kazakhstan last November.
Mishustin also pointed out that Kazakhstan was represented at a high level in Russia in December when Kassym-Jomart Tokayev visited St. Petersburg.
He emphasized the importance of the Forum of Regions, as Russian regions actively collaborate with Kazakh regions. According to Mishustin, this format is of great significance, and the Russian side will continue to support its development.
“Kazakhstan is a close neighbor and ally of the Russian Federation. Our relations are built on the principles of friendship and mutual respect,” the Russian Prime Minister remarked.
He added that the outcomes of the negotiations between the governmental delegations of both countries will provide new impetus for the development of joint cooperation.
During the meeting, joint projects in the fields of energy, industry, agriculture, and transport were discussed, along with issues of scientific, technical, and cultural exchange.
It was also reported that Kassym-Jomart Tokayev accepted an invitation from the Russian President to attend an event in Russia related to the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War.
