Sälem from Almaty, Kazakhstan! 
 
This is my first visit to Central Asia. Over the next few days, I will be in Almaty and Astana to meet government and business leaders, as well as to deliver a lecture at Nazarbayev University.
 
Singapore and Kazakhstan are very different countries, but as outward looking states we share some common interests and aspirations. Looking forward to learning more about Kazakhstan and exploring ways to strengthen our bilateral ties. [go.gov.sg/vccdo5](http://go.gov.sg/vccdo5)
