🛬 Russia’s President Vladimir Putin arrives in Astana to take part in the meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (#SCO) Heads of State Council.

🇷🇺🇰🇿 President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin met with President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, who will chair the 24th meeting of the SCO Summit in Astana on July 4.
💬 Vladimir Putin: Mr Tokayev, thank you for the invitation.
We appreciate the efforts Kazakhstan has invested to make this event possible. It is in its early phase, but we can already see its scale. It certainly has an international dimension not formally, but substantively. This is my first point.
Second, I would like to note that Kazakhstan, on the one hand, and Russia, on the other hand, are chairing a number of international organisations and hold forums. You are chairing the #SCO and the #CSTO, and Russia is chairing #BRICS and the #CIS. We will support and help each other in this regard.
I would like to thank you for inviting me to pay a state visit to Kazakhstan. Without a doubt, timing my visit to the CSTO Summit is the most rational choice. We will definitely do it. Thank you for the invitation. I certainly accept it.
🤝 With regard to our bilateral relations, we maintain contact at all times. Still, I would be remiss not to note that trade has expanded to almost US$30 billion, over US$28 billion, which is impressive. With over 17 percent of Kazakhstan’s trade, Russia is among its key trade and economic partners.
We are pursuing many important areas of cooperation marked by high levels of collaboration, and many interesting projects. I propose discussing this today as well.
