“I am confident that with your momentous ascension to the papacy, the Catholic Church will further play a pivotal role in promoting the cause of peace, stability, and prosperity across communities living in an increasingly complex world,” wrote Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.
President Tokayev reaffirmed strong support for the joint endeavor to build bridges of friendship, mutual trust, and solidarity – highlighting that the multi-faith Kazakhstan has hosted two historic papal visits over the past decades.
