In August, Astana will host a consultative meeting of the leaders of Central Asian countries, as well as the "Central Asia + Japan" summit with the participation of Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. 

Japan is the first country to have initiated the "5+1" dialogue format at the level of foreign ministers in 2004, and this will be the first summit at the highest level.

It should be recalled that on July 3, President Mirziyoyev visited Kazakhstan to participate in the SCO Plus summit.
