“The United States strongly supports the strengthening of the strategic partnership between the United States and Kazakhstan and hopes to further strengthen our relations with the new government of the president (Kazakhstan Kasym-Zhomart. - RT ) Tokayev,” wrote Pompeo in his microblog on Twitter.
Earlier, Tokayev expressed concern about the contradictions between China and the United States in the economic sphere and advised Washington to find a compromise with Beijing.
As a China specialist by education, Tokayev noted that he would recommend the American leader Donald Trump not to put China in an impossible situation.
