Relations between the two countries are dynamically developing in the economy, culture, history, education, science and other fields. Today, 167 students from Mongolia study at our educational institution.  Only recently, the Head of State made a special visit to Mongolia, where a number of agreements were signed. At the same time, we have a lot of joint work ahead of us".

In turn, Mongolian ambassador to Kazakhstan Dorj Bayarkhuu noted: "There are historical, cultural, ethnic and everyday similarities between kazakhs and mongols. They are the result of the fact that the two peoples have influenced each other for centuries. Therefore, I am sure that our cooperation will only grow stronger".

It is obvious that it will contribute to the further strengthening of historical, cultural and scientific ties between Kazakhstan and Mongolia.

A reliable and critical dialogue has been established between our countries", - said Malik Otarbayev, adviser to the President of Kazakhstan.
