President of the Republic of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić met today for a farewell visit with the Ambassador of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Gabit Syzdykbekov, and thanked him for contributing to the strengthening of Serbian-Kazakh cooperation as the first ambassador of his country based in Belgrade.

On this occasion, President Vučić pointed out the importance of President Tokayev's decision to raise the diplomatic mission of Kazakhstan in Serbia to the level of an embassy, because that country, with which we are marking the 25th anniversary of diplomatic relations this year, is our important partner on the international political scene. That is why he expressed hope that the President of Kazakhstan could visit Serbia in the jubilee year.

President Vučić expressed his gratitude to Kazakhstan for supporting the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Serbia by not recognizing so-called Kosovo, as well as the hope that it would continue to express that support in international organisations.

The two interlocutors agreed that in the coming period it is necessary to focus on strengthening economic and any other cooperation and, in this regard, stressed the need to expand the legal and contractual bases.

President Vučić wished Ambassador Syzdykbekov much success in his responsible duty, which he will take over upon his return to his country.
