During his stay, the Kazakh president will meet President Asif Ali Zardari and hold detailed talks with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. He will also address the Pakistan-Kazakhstan Business Forum.
Both countries are expected to sign several memoranda of understanding and cooperation agreements covering different sectors.
Earlier, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said, “The visit will provide the two sides an important and timely opportunity to undertake a comprehensive review of bilateral relations, discuss new avenues for broadening cooperation, particularly in trade, logistics, regional connectivity, people-to-people contacts, and explore collaboration at regional and international forums.”
