I consider my first state visit to Pakistan a historic milestone in our bilateral cooperation. We have signed a Joint Declaration that elevates our partnership to a strategic level. During today's business forum, over 30 commercial agreements totaling around $200 million were signed, which will serve as a powerful catalyst for further strengthening the trade-economic and investment cooperation between the brotherly nations. Indeed, our partnership is steadily expanding. Last year, trade turnover between the two countries nearly doubled. Over 200 companies with Pakistani capital are already operating in Kazakhstan across construction, agriculture, food processing, industry, and many other sectors. Building on this positive momentum, we have set an ambitious yet fully achievable goal to increase bilateral trade to $1 billion," stated Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.

This exhibition represents a new direction in cultural cooperation between ISESCO and Kazakhstan and demonstrates the Organization’s recognition of Al-Farabi’s enormous role in shaping human thought, as a creator known for his wisdom, extensive knowledge, and genuine interest in literature and music" said Abdella Benarafa, Deputy Director General of ISESCO. "Today's exhibition highlights the legacy of the great Muslim philosopher and scholar Al-Farabi through an artistic vision that casts light on his childhood, scholarly journey, and contributions to Islamic civilization", said Mohamed Zinlabidine, Director of the Organization's Department of Culture and former Minister of Culture of Tunisia.
