President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev met with his Special Representative for Afghanistan, Yerkin Tukumov, to review progress and chart a path for deeper bilateral cooperation. During the meeting, Tokayev emphasized Tukumov’s pivotal role in advancing ties with Kabul, particularly in trade, economic, and humanitarian fields.
The President reaffirmed Kazakhstan’s commitment to promoting peace and stability in Afghanistan through sustained humanitarian and educational programs.
