An official meeting between King Abdullah II bin al-Hussein of Jordan and President Qasym-Jomart Toqayev took place at Aqorda, Orda.kz reports.
Toqayev warmly welcomed the Jordanian monarch, recalling his own recent state visit.
I would like to note the very warm welcome I received during my visit to the Kingdom in February. It was my first official visit to your country as President of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The visit was indeed very productive and gave a strong impetus to advancing our bilateral cooperation, Toqayev said.
During Abdullah II’s visit, more than 15 agreements in different fields are expected to be signed.
These agreements cover various aspects of our cooperation, and we hope that today's Kazakhstan and Jordan Business Forum will give and bring new efforts to cooperation. We look forward to our joint participation in this event today after lunch, Toqayev noted.
He added that Kazakhstan and Jordan are linked not only by economic and political interests but also by shared cultural values.
We share common values, culture, religion and traditions of tolerance and mutual respect in both Jordan and Kazakhstan. We have demonstrated to the world how different cultures and religions can coexist in peace and promote the further prosperity of humanity.
King Abdullah II expressed his appreciation for Kazakhstan’s efforts on the global stage.
I would like to express my gratitude for helping us de-escalate the situation in the Middle East. I would also like to note that there are a lot of complexities that exist at the moment on the world stage. And I would like to express that we will advance our bilateral ties, and we will always thank you for your leadership, for how Kazakhstan is developing so quickly, so well,the monarch said.
It was also announced today that Kazakhstan's citizens will soon be able to fly directly to Jordan.
