Humanitarian cooperation issues between Kazakhstan and Greece discussed in Athens

On September 30, 2020, Alexey Volkov, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Kazakhstan met with Konstantinos Vlasis, Greek Deputy Foreign Minister for the Greek Diaspora.

During the meeting, the parties discussed issues of bilateral cooperation between the states in the humanitarian field. In particular, they were focused on the prospects for strengthening ties between the Kazakh and Greek peoples. In this context, the parties emphasized the special role in this process of the ten thousand Greek Diaspora in Kazakhstan, and about 60 thousand natives of Kazakhstan living in Hellas, who are directly involved in public, political, cultural and other spheres of life of both states.

In order to get a closer look at the life of the Kazakh Greeks in our country, Ambassador A. Volkov made an invitation to K. Vlasis to visit Kazakhstan in the near future, as favorable epidemiological conditions for international travels are established.

In addition, during the meeting, Kazakh Ambassador presented to the Deputy Minister a book by the First President of Kazakhstan, Leader of the Nation Nursultan Nazarbayev, "The era of Independence", a wonderful guide to the contemporary history of the development of modern Kazakhstan translated in Greek.
