Putin-Tokayev Talks: What to Expect?

Russian Presidential Aide Yury Ushakov earlier said that the upcoming face-to-face meeting in Astana will be the sixth personal gathering between Putin and Tokayev in 2024.

November 27 will see talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Kazakh counterpart Kassym-Jomart Tokayev in Astana as part of Putin’s two-day state visit to Kazakhstan.

The two leaders are expected to discuss further development of the bilateral strategic partnership, especially in light of Kazakhstan's chairmanship in the Collective Security Treaty Organization and Russia chairing the Commonwealth of Independent States and BRICS.

Following the closed-door, face-to-face and expanded talks, Putin and Tokayev will sign a joint statement on deepening strategic cooperation.

The document touches upon the most pressing issues of political dialogue, trade and economic cooperation, as well as cultural and humanitarian ties, according to Russia’s presidential aide Yury Ushakov.
