Ambassador of Kazakhstan to Singapore met with the Dean of the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, Professor Danny Quah

Ambassador of Kazakhstan to Singapore, Askar Kuttykadam, met with the Dean of the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy (LKSPP), Professor Danny Quah.

The parties exchanged views on the latest trends in the educational systems of Kazakhstan and Singapore, and discussed ways to enhance cooperation between the two countries.

Since 2012, LKYSPP has been strategic partner for the Nazarbayev University's Graduate School of Public Policy (GSPP).

As part of the capstone research project of their Master in Public Policy / Master in Public Administration program, a two-week Singapore component exposes students to the historical and contemporary development of policymaking and governance in Singapore, with in-depth reflections and discussions on its relevance in the Kazakh context.

The Ambassador expressed his support for continued long-term partnership between GSPP and LKSPP as an important contribution to building a Just and Fair Kazakhstan and promoting people-to-people ties.

Dean Danny Quah reaffirmed LKSPP's strong commitment to cooperating with Kazakhstan, and expressed his readiness to consider an invitation to attend the Astana International Forum (AIF) to take place on 8 and 9 June 2023, in Astana, Kazakhstan.

The AIF will bring together politicians, NGOs, business leaders, and other key stakeholders seeking to maintain strong cooperation, links and exchange in the emerging era of great power competition.
