The prime minister of Kazakhstan, Askar Mamin, told a delegation of Jewish leaders from around the world about his plans to visit Israel by official invitation of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and expressed hopes for expanding bilateral trade between the two countries, according to a statement by the Euro-Asian Jewish Congress (EAJC).

EAJC met with Mamin and Kazakhstani President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev on Monday.

At the summit, the leaders discussed a wide range of issues pertaining to the current situation of the Jewish community and bilateral relations between Kazakhstan and Israel.
