The President of Kazakhstan held a meeting with the President of Turkmenistan on December 11, 2025, in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan.

The President of Kazakhstan, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, congratulated his counterpart and the fraternal Turkmen people on the significant anniversary — the 30th anniversary of Turkmenistan’s permanent neutrality.

In this context, the Head of State highlighted the relevance of the agenda for the upcoming International Forum, dedicated to the anniversary.

"I am grateful to you for the invitation to visit the beautiful city of Ashgabat. Every time we are here, I feel the atmosphere of hospitality, brotherhood, and friendship. I have no doubt that tomorrow’s forum will achieve its goals and become a very important event in the history of international relations, as it addresses the most pressing issues: peace, neutrality, and trust. These are precisely the things that are lacking in the modern world," emphasized Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.

The two leaders discussed the prospects for developing bilateral relations, paying special attention to the practical aspects of implementing the agreements reached during the recent state visit of the President of Turkmenistan to Astana.

In turn, the President of Turkmenistan warmly welcomed the Head of the Kazakh state to Ashgabat.

"Your participation will be a vivid testament to your commitment to strengthening peace, trust, and mutual understanding. Once again, I would like to express my gratitude for accepting the invitation to participate in the International Forum on Peace and Trust. It is a great honor for us to have you here today on Turkmen soil," said Serdar Berdymukhamedov.

The heads of state confirmed the importance of further expanding mutual trade, strengthening economic ties, and implementing joint projects in the energy, transport and logistics, and agricultural sectors.
