Today, many Kazakhstani tourists visit Georgia, and they return with exceptionally positive emotions. Of course, there are certain untapped opportunities, and we must make an effort to properly utilize all existing potential to give additional impetus to our bilateral cooperation

Prime Minister Kobakhidze echoed these sentiments, calling it an honor to be in Kazakhstan and emphasizing the strategic nature of the partnership. "This is the true essence of our cooperation. However, as you have already mentioned, there is vast untapped potential, and we must do everything possible to leverage it to the fullest," he said.

The leaders highlighted strong political and economic ties, as well as cooperation in education and culture. The visit is particularly significant as it marks the signing of a Joint Statement on Strategic Partnership, which both sides believe will provide new impetus to their bilateral relations. Kobakhidze attributed the strong potential of their relationship to shared values.
