The high-ranking Kazakh diplomat also told about the outcomes of the first consultative meeting of the heads of Central Asian states hosted by Astana in March this year, noting that a new reality is emerging in the region thanks to the friendly contacts between the Central Asian leaders, which are the key core of the deepening of bilateral relations.
