visit to the Republic of Kazakhstan from April 20 to 23, 2026, at the invitation of

sides are expected to review more than three decades of bilateral relations,
discuss expanding their Strategic Partnership, strengthening economic
cooperation, and deepening cooperation at the regional and international levels.

and inter-agency documents aimed at broadening bilateral relations and cooperation
are also expected to be signed during the visit. Businesses from both countries
will hold a business forum, while artists from Mongolian Grand Theatre of National
Art will stage the honorary concert “Beautiful Country Mongolia” in Astana for

and cooperation across all sectors.

to a Strategic Partnership, making Kazakhstan Mongolia’s first Strategic
Partner in Central Asia.

Presidential Office.
