Russian President Vladimir Putin has arrived in Kazakhstan for a three-day state visit from May 27 to 29, which is the highest diplomatic honor. This visit is significant as it coincides with the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council meeting, part of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) summit occurring in Astana on May 28-29. According to Russian Presidential Aide Yury Ushakov, this visit underscores the exceptionally high level of relations between Russia and Kazakhstan. Upon his arrival, Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev will greet Putin at the airport, and the two leaders will hold an informal lunch at Tokayev's residence. This meeting will be their 39th in less than seven years, illustrating the close ties between the two nations. Tokayev previously invited Putin for another state visit in 2026, which Putin accepted. The Russian Ambassador to Kazakhstan expressed hope that this visit would enhance the dynamic development of cooperation between the two countries.
