Taking this opportunity, the Russian President invited the forum participants to Ufa, the next Forum of Interregional Cooperation between Russia and Kazakhstan.

“I would like to note once again that interregional ties play a central role in the partnership between Russia and Kazakhstan. We will continue to encourage regions' desire to cooperate and, of course, will support all your useful endeavors. I would like to wish the forum participants and its organizers fruitful work. In 2024, the next interregional forum will occur in Russia, in Ufa. I invite you to take part in it,” said Vladimir Putin.
