This afternoon at my parliamentary office, I had a very educational and productive meeting with His Excellency Akylbek Kamaldinov, Ambassador of Kazakhstan to Canada. We covered subjects like Kazakhstan President Tokayev's political reforms, agricultural trade, women's rights and 2SLGBTQI rights, the appointment of honourary Consuls in Ontario, Saskatchewan and Alberta, the success of the breeding project that involved 15,000 cattle from Alberta being introduced to Kazakhstan, and the upcoming 30th anniversary of the diplomatic relationship between Canada and Kazakhstan.
