The Head of State met with members of the U.S. House of Representatives - Jimmy Panetta, Carol Miller, Bill Huizenga, and Sydney Kamlager-Dove.

President Tokayev noted the important role of the U.S. Congress in strengthening friendly relations with Kazakhstan and expressed his gratitude to the parliamentarians for their personal contribution to promoting the Enhanced Strategic Partnership between the two countries.

He emphasized that the work of the U.S.- Kazakhstan Friendship Caucus, co-chaired by Jimmy Panetta, contributes to deepening political dialogue, expanding economic cooperation, and fostering people-to-people ties.

The United States is one of Kazakhstan's largest economic partners. U.S. investments in Kazakhstan exceed $100 billion, accounting for 80 percent of total foreign investment in Central Asia.

President Tokayev also briefed the members of Congress on Kazakhstan's comprehensive political and economic modernization.

In turn, the members of Congress commended Kazakhstan's potential and expressed their readiness to support the development of multifaceted bilateral cooperation.

Taking the opportunity, President Tokayev invited the U.S. lawmakers to visit Kazakhstan to further strengthen mutually beneficial relations between the two countries.
