both countries. In 1991, the United States was the first country to
recognize Kazakhstan as a sovereign state on the international
stage. Our commitment to your country's independence, sovereignty,
and territorial integrity remains unwavering. American companies
have played and will continue to play an important role in
Kazakhstan's impressive economic success. I am confident that the
growing friendship between our countries will deliver tangible
results for many decades to come. I look forward to meeting with
you at the G20 summit in December," Trump wrote.

business ties, attracting U.S. investment and advanced
technologies, and developing cooperation in energy, critical
minerals, digitalization, transport and logistics.
