Kazakhstan honors Swiss ambassador Nellen, praises his work

"You have done a lot in the capacity of the Swiss ambassador and made a weighty contribution to the development of the bilateral relations. Please accept my most sincere gratitude for that," Secretary of State Mukhtar Kul-Mukhammed welcomed Ambassador Nellen at the Akorda presidential residence.
"At the time, Switzerland offered its outspoken support to Kazakhstan as the chair of the OSCE. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Switzerland on the upcoming chairmanship of the OSCE in 2014," M. Kul-Mukhammed said.
"The years I've spent in Kazakhstan as the Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador are important and fruitful indeed. I visited Kazakhstan for the first time back in 1992 and witnessed all positive changes that happened in the country over the last 20 years. I am glad I have contributed to the development of the bilateral relations between our countries," Stephan Nellen responded.
