Congratulation of His Holiness Patriarch Kirill for K.-J.K. Tokayev with his election as President of the Republic of Kazakhstan

His Excellency Kassym-Jomart Kemelevich Tokayev,
President of the Republic of Kazakhstan

Your Excellency, highly respected Kassym-Jomart Kemelevich!

You are known as an experienced politician who actively cares about the well-being of fellow citizens, most of whom have unanimously elected you now as Head of State, which undoubtedly indicates popular support for your course of socio-political transformations.

I hope for the successful continuation of cooperation between the secular authorities of Kazakhstan and the Metropolitan District of the Russian Orthodox Church in the Republic, which, I am convinced, will continue to make a significant contribution to strengthening interreligious peace and interethnic harmony in the country, affirming the ideals of goodness, mutual respect and justice in society.

I wish you the fullness of mental and physical strength, good spirits and help from above in your work in a responsible state field.

Sincerely,

+KIRILL, PATRIARCH OF MOSCOW AND ALL Rus'
