Independence Day in Abu Dhabi: Kazakh Embassy holds a reception

The reception at the prestigious Jumeirah Beach Hotel brought together distinguished guests, including the UAE authorities, foreign diplomatic corps, social and cultural circles of Abu Dhabi, Kazakhstani students and citizens residing in the UAE.
Consul General of the Republic of Kazakhstan Askar Shokyrbayev took the floor to deliver a congratulatory speech in which he highlighted key achievements of the country over the years of sovereignty.
As for the bilateral relations with the UAE, the Kazakh diplomat stressed it was Kazakhstan's foreign policy priority to deepen cooperation with Arab countries, including the Emirates.
"It is with great pleasure that I admit that the United Arab Emirates was one of the first countries to enter into diplomatic relations with sovereign Kazakhstan. Warm and trust-based relationship between the leaders of Kazakhstan and the UAE has defined successful interaction in the political, economic and cultural-humanitarian spheres between the two countries. Kazakhstan and the UAE continue to step up commercial and economic as well as investment partnership.
Thanks to the Emirates investments Kazakhstan has implemented a whole spectrum of large projects. Construction of Abu Dhabi Plaza is underway in Astana.
"We welcome further investment flows from the United Arab Emirates into Kazakhstani economy. I would like to reassure you that Kazakhstan offers favorable conditions for foreign capital," A. Shokyrbayev said.
During the reception the guests had a chance to familiarize with the Kazakh culture. A group of Kazakhstani musicians feasted the ears of those present with national music.
