The visit to the Republic of Korea by President of the Republic of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, which has been discussed between the two countries, has been postponed due to the situation related to the COVID-19 outbreak in Korea. The two sides have agreed to reschedule President Tokayev’s visit within this year.

In his address on the 101st March First Independence Movement Day, President Moon Jae-in unveiled a plan to repatriate and bury the remains of General Hong Beom-do in his homeland on the occasion of the Kazakh President’s visit to Korea. The repatriation will coincide with Kazakh President Tokayev’s rescheduled visit.
