on Tuesday, the Russian presidential press service announced.
"President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev will pay a state visit
to Russia. The talks will address key issues concerning the development of
Russian-Kazakh relations, strategic partnership and alliance in the political,
trade and economic and cultural and humanitarian spheres, as well as major
issues on the regional and global agenda," the press service said in a
