United States President Donald Trump has invited Kazakhstan’s President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev to visit Miami for the G20 summit later this year, according to an official statement released by Tokayev’s press secretary, Aibek Smadiyarov.
The invitation was reportedly conveyed in a personal letter following the two leaders’ recent meeting in Washington in February, which took place during the inaugural session of the Board of Peace, a platform described by participants as combining diplomatic dialogue with business initiatives aimed at addressing global security and development challenges.
According to Smadiyarov, Trump expressed appreciation for Tokayev’s participation in the Washington meeting and said he would be pleased to welcome the Kazakh leader again at the next session of the Board of Peace. The U.S. president also indicated that he hopes Tokayev will attend the G20 summit scheduled to be held in Miami later this year.
The proposed visit reflects continued engagement between Washington and Astana on multilateral initiatives. Tokayev has previously voiced support for the Board of Peace initiative, presenting it as a mechanism that could mobilize investment and diplomatic cooperation to address instability in parts of the Middle East.
Kazakh officials have framed participation in such formats as consistent with the country’s long-standing multi-vector foreign policy, which seeks to balance relations with major global powers while promoting regional stability and economic development.
Kazakhstan has been seeking to expand economic ties with Western partners while maintaining its role as a key regional transit hub linking Europe and Asia.
No official confirmation has yet been issued by the White House regarding the timing or format of the proposed G20 summit in Miami.
