Kazakhstan’s President Kassym-Zhomart Tokayev is actively engaging in regional diplomacy as part of intergovernmental and international visits that shape the country’s role on the Eurasian stage. Recent reporting confirms that a session of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council is planned to take place in Moscow on May 25, illustrating Tokayev’s ongoing commitment to economic integration within the broader Eurasian framework. This gathering underscores Kazakhstan’s strategic interest in aligning with neighboring economies and collaborating on shared development goals, as noted by Tengrinews.kz.
Looking ahead to late May, Tokayev is slated to host high-level discussions with foreign leaders during a busy diplomatic window. On May 22, he is scheduled to meet Giorgia Meloni, the Prime Minister of Italy, who is undertaking a working visit to Kazakhstan. In parallel, Singapore’s President Halimah Yacob will arrive for an official visit on the same day, reflecting closer ties with Southeast Asian partners and a broader push to diversify international relations. These engagements are framed as part of Kazakhstan’s broader strategy to strengthen political dialogue and economic collaboration with a diverse set of partners, according to official briefings and coverage by Tengrinews.kz.
Tokayev’s previous travels include a high-profile official visit to China, where he held discussions with President Xi Jinping. During this trip, he participated in the first Central Asia–China Summit and presided over the inauguration of Kazakhstan’s Consulate General in Xi’an, signs of deepening regional cooperation. The discussions with Xi Jinping covered multiple topics, and the visit produced a substantial number of bilateral documents intended to advance cooperation across various sectors, including trade, investment, and people-to-people exchanges. Tengrinews.kz notes that over twenty separate agreements and understandings were signed during the visit, illustrating a broad agenda and a positive momentum in Sino-Kazakh relations.
