MOSCOW, May 26. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin’s state visit to Kazakhstan will coincide with the meeting of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council as part of the EAEU summit, Kremlin Aide Yury Ushakov noted at a briefing.
TASS has compiled the presidential aide's key statements about the visit.
"This will be a state visit, and it will coincide with the EAEU summit events to be held in Astana on May 28-29, i.e., with the meeting of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council," the official said.
Putin’s visit to Kazakhstan will carry state-visit status despite diplomatic protocol tradition and will underscore the high level of bilateral relations, he noted.
"As a rule, one state visit is conducted during a single presidential term, but since this visit is the second state visit, it is intended, at the suggestion of our Kazakh friends, to highlight the unprecedentedly high level of relations between our two countries," Ushakov said.
