Earlier, Tokayev said he had personally worked on the document.
I worked on this document myself and made amendments. I believe it will enter the chronicle of cooperation between our countries and will have great significance,Tokayev said.
Tokayev also spoke about one of Kazakhstan’s flagship projects — the construction of a nuclear power plant with Rosatom’s participation.
Second is the signing of agreements on the construction of a nuclear power plant in Kazakhstan. I would like to express my gratitude to you for your personal support of the project. I think there is no need to explain the strategic significance of the agreement on the construction of the nuclear power plant, because it is clear to everyone,Tokayev said.
The Kazakh president added that the peoples of Kazakhstan and Russia are interested in their countries living in friendship and cooperation.
We all need peace in order to develop further,he said.

Kazakh investment in the Russian economy has exceeded $9 billion, which Tokayev called “a good indicator.”
The sides also discussed the project to reintroduce Amur tigers to Kazakhstan.
Tokayev thanked Putin for the article the Russian president wrote for Kazakhstanskaya Pravda, titled “Russia–Kazakhstan: An Alliance In The Heart Of Eurasia.”
