Nursultan Nazarbayev visited the Embassy of France in Kazakhstan and left a note in the book of condolences.
The President stressed that he came to express condolences on behalf of the people of Kazakhstan and on his own behalf, especially taking into account the close relationship between Kazakhstan and France and noting the respect rendered to the Kazakh delegation during his recent official visit to Paris.
The Head of State also noted that a large number of innocent civilians were killed as a result of the inhumane attacks.
Today, we are mourning with the people of France. This country is one of the centres of world culture and history. Consequently, the situation reflects gravely on us as well. These actions do not only make us feel distress and anger, but also call on all humankind to fight against them. Terrorism has no nationality and religion. This is a global disaster. At the recent session of the United Nations, I proposed to organise a forum called ‘Islam against terrorism,’ as well as to create a worldwide network to combat this evil,” the President of Kazakhstan said.
