Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbayev has sent his Lunar New Year greetings to Chinese people in an exclusive interview with China Global Television Network (CGTN).
"First of all, the people of Kazakhstan wish all the Chinese people a happy Spring Festival. I wish all of you health and good luck. And I wish China can make breakthrough in all respects to reach the goals set on the 19th CPC Congress," said the president.
The president added that he has visited China many times since Kazakhstan won its independence 26 years ago and has met several Chinese leaders.
"It has been the sixth year for me to cooperate with Chinese President Xi Jinping and we have a lot of exchanges," he noted, adding that he admires Xi's perseverance and strong will.
The president also expressed his willingness to deepen cooperation with China as recent bilateral trade has mounted to over 14 billion US dollars.
