Letter from President Halimah Yacob

13 June 2019

His Excellency Kassym-Jomart Tokayev

President

Republic of Kazakhstan

Your Excellency,


               On behalf of the people of Singapore, I would like to extend my warmest congratulations to you on your successful election as President of the Republic of Kazakhstan.  Your convincing victory reflects the trust and confidence placed by many Kazakh citizens in your political experience and capable leadership.

               Singapore and Kazakhstan have always worked well together in many areas, given our common goals for development and the similar challenges faced by our two countries.  I remember fondly my visit to Kazakhstan when I was Speaker of Parliament and the great hospitality extended to me and my delegation by the government and people of Kazakhstan.  As you take the helm of your country and steer its future development, I am confident that you will be able to bring Kazakhstan to even greater progress and prosperity.

               I wish you the very best for your term ahead and look forward to working closely with you to further strengthen the excellent bilateral relations between Singapore and Kazakhstan.


Yours Sincerely,

HALIMAH YACOB
