Senate Chair Maulen Ashimbayev commented on former President Nursultan Nazarbayev’s recent trip to Moscow, where he met with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Orda.kz reports.
Ashimbayev clarified that the visit had no official status.
This visit was purely personal. He (Nazarbayev - Ed.) had no official status. Former Presidents have the right to travel abroad and meet with foreign politicians for personal conversations. He has no special powers or official functions, he told reporters.
He emphasized that the current President is fully responsible for all official foreign and domestic policy matters.
All issues of implementing domestic and foreign policy are determined and implemented by the current president. All contacts with other countries, including Russia, are coordinated by Qasym-Jomart Toqayev. He regularly calls President Putin and conducts negotiations at the highest level.
Ashimbayev noted that such personal meetings should not be viewed as politically significant or reflective of Kazakhstan’s official stance.
Nazarbayev’s visit to Moscow sparked domestic discussion.
