The joint press conference of the President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who is on an official visit to Astana, was canceled at the initiative of the Kazakh side. This is reported by the DPA news agency.
"The originally planned joint press conference of Tokayev and Scholz was canceled by the Kazakh side shortly before it began. In Uzbekistan, the Chancellor's first stop on his three—day trip, there were no plans to go to the press together from the very beginning," the newspaper writes.
As a result, Scholz went out to the journalists alone. When asked if he was disappointed by the decision of the Kazakh side and did not consider this step inhospitable, Scholz chose not to answer, avoiding the topic, the press service of the German government reports.
Olaf Scholz is on an official visit to Kazakhstan. On September 16, he visited Uzbekistan.
His meeting with the leaders of the Central Asian republics in the 5+1 format will take place in Astana today.
