Russian President Vladimir Putin's state visit to Kazakhstan is set to continue with a series of significant events. On Thursday, following an official welcoming ceremony at the Independence Palace, Putin and Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev will engage in talks, culminating in the signing of key documents, including a joint statement on friendship. The leaders will also participate in a tree planting ceremony and address the press. The visit will transition into discussions on Eurasian integration, with the involvement of colleagues from the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). In the evening, Putin will attend the 5th Eurasian Economic Forum, where he will deliver a speech focusing on digitalization and artificial intelligence development within the EAEU. This forum will emphasize the region's technological advancements and conclude with a joint statement from EAEU leaders. A notable absence will be Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, who is unable to attend due to his ongoing election campaign. The Kremlin indicates that future discussions will address Armenia's EAEU participation amid its push for European Union integration.
