Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has extended congratulations to President Petr Pavel on the occasion of the Independence Day of the Czech Republic.

In his message, Tokayev expressed confidence that the Kazakh-Czech relations would continue to develop and strengthen in the future.

“I am convinced that the traditional friendship and mutual understanding between our countries will continue to serve as a solid foundation for the further development of mutually beneficial cooperation in various fields,” Tokayev said.
