Minister Nurtleu also informed about the priorities of Kazakhstan's foreign policy and the socio-economic and political reforms carried out in our country, in particular, those voiced by President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev in his last State of the Nation Address in September 2024.

He highly appreciated Kazakhstan's contribution to strengthening peace and security, achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and ensuring human rights.

For us Kazakhstan is a privileged partner, a pillar of multilateralism, a conductor of dialogue between cultures, religions and civilizations. Your country, as a fundamental pillar of Central Asia, is a bridge between East and West,” Guterres said.

I would like to express my gratitude to your country for its continued support to UN initiatives, in particular for promoting the establishment of the UN Regional Center for Sustainable Development in Central Asia and Afghanistan in Almaty, which I visited in person as part of my participation in the SCO Summit in July 2024,” the UN Secretary General stressed.
