President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has sent messages of support to the leaders of the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait, reaffirming Kazakhstan’s solidarity with their peoples during what he described as a “difficult period of profound challenges.”
According to Qazinform, citing presidential adviser and press secretary Aibek Smadyarov, Tokayev expressed support for the five countries and reiterated Kazakhstan’s commitment to the sovereignty and security of its partners in the Arab world.
In the messages, Tokayev condemned any military action aimed at undermining the sovereignty and security of states that Kazakhstan regards as friendly partners.
“Our country consistently advocates the resolution of all complex international issues and armed conflicts exclusively through diplomatic means,” Tokayev said.
He added that Kazakhstan stands ready to provide any assistance it can and expressed hope for continued regular contact with the senior leadership of those countries, signaling Astana’s intention to maintain close political dialogue amid regional tensions.
The messages are consistent with Kazakhstan’s long-standing foreign policy emphasis on multilateralism, non-interference, and the peaceful settlement of disputes. As Central Asia’s largest economy, Kazakhstan has sought to position itself as a constructive diplomatic actor while maintaining balanced relations across the Middle East and beyond.
