🇷🇺🇰🇿 Following the informal meeting of CIS leaders, Russia's President Vladimir Putin held a bilateral meeting with President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev (December 22, 2025)

💬 Vladimir Putin: Mr Tokayev,

We began working together yesterday, and today we had the opportunity to devote half a day to informal discussions of our joint work within the #CSTO, the #CIS, and on bilateral matters.

However, I am pleased to have the opportunity to meet with you separately and to discuss the issues that both you and I regard as priorities for the development of bilateral relations between Kazakhstan and Russia.

Overall, in my view, the situation is developing positively in virtually all areas. We do not have a single contentious or difficult issue, although, of course, at this level of interaction there are always many practical questions to address.

I very much value the opportunity to discuss all of these matters with you.
