Kazakhstan will follow the sanctions regime imposed on Russia, and Berlin should not have any concerns in this regard. President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev stated this at a press conference after negotiations with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz TASS reported.

“With regard to the possible circumvention of sanctions, Kazakhstan has clearly stated that it will follow the sanctions regime; we have contacts with the relevant organizations to comply with the sanctions regime,” Tokayev said.

“It seems to me that there should be no concerns on the German side regarding possible actions aimed at circumventing the sanctions regime,” he added.

Scholz, in turn, expressed satisfaction that the Kazakh government is supporting the West in efforts to prevent sanctions from being circumvented.

Tokayev is in Germany on an official visit. After the meeting with Scholz, the leader of Kazakhstan plans to take part in the meeting of the heads of state of Central Asia and Germany.
