A flight with special passengers arrived in Kazakhstan

At the request of the citizens of Kazakhstan awaiting surgery in India, the Ministries of Healthcare and Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan, with the assistance of the Embassy of Kazakhstan in India, organized a special charter flight of SCAT airlines carrying doctors and necessary equipment.

Despite the temporary suspension of civil air traffic between our countries due to the COVID-19 epidemic, Kazakh diplomats agreed with the Indian side to export our citizens from the cities of Chennai and Mumbai to return them to Kazakhstan.

 On April 18, six citizens of the Republic of Kazakhstan, including three patients and three accompanying persons, flew to Almaty.

At the same time, at the initiative of the Indian side, the same flight brought to Kazakhstan 30 thousand pharmaceutical products as humanitarian aid for combatting the coronavirus.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expresses its gratitude to the Government of India for the friendly gesture and notes that this initiative is fully consistent with the spirit of the strategic partnership between our countries.
