Putin invited to Kazakhstan

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s visit to Kazakhstan is under consideration, Kazakh Deputy Foreign Minister Roman Vasilenko said at a briefing.

"Vladimir Putin’s visit is under consideration and will take place at a time agreed by the parties," TASS cited Vasilenko as saying.

He noted that Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev planned to visit Russia’s Omsk in November in order to attend the 16th Russia-Kazakhstan Regional Cooperation Forum co-chaired by the two countries’ leaders.

Vasilenko added that an announcement on Tokayev’s participation in the upcoming session of the Valdai International Discussion Club in Sochi would be made later.
