Tokayev sees off Tajik President Rahmon at Astana airport

The official visit of Tajik President Emomali Rahmon to Kazakhstan has ended. Before his departure, Rahmon was seen off at Astana's airport by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.

Rahmon arrived in Astana on the evening of November 5, and Tokayev met him at the airport. The next day, both presidents took part in the Aqaba Process summit, where they discussed how to prevent the use of AI for terrorism and extremism. On November 7, Rahmon was welcomed at the Akorda with an honour guard, and helicopters carrying the flags of both countries flew over the residence.

During talks, the presidents discussed how to increase trade. In the first nine months of 2026, trade turnover grew by almost 26%, to $1.13 billion. A plan to expand trade through 2030 was among 14 documents the delegations exchanged at the end of the meeting. The same day, Tokayev presented Rahmon with the Order of Qoja Ahmet Yasaui, and the presidents opened a new complex of the Tajik embassy in Astana.
