The event brought together representatives of the Embassy of the Republic of Kazakhstan in Warsaw, government bodies, the business cricles, and the tourism sector, as well as the management of LOT Polish Airlines.

Speaking at the ceremony, a representative of the Embassy of Kazakhstan in Poland emphasized that the launch of the new route would be an important step toward further strengthening Kazakh–Polish cooperation.
