In a press conference, Tokayev expressed gratitude to Khurelsukh for the invitation, noting that Kazakh-Mongolian ties have evolved into a strategic partnership. He emphasized mutual plans to expand trade from $150 million to $500 million, highlighting the need to broaden the range of goods and reduce trade barriers.
