The ceremony took place at the Grand Ducal Palace. During the subsequent audience, the parties discussed the current state and prospects for developing cooperation between Kazakhstan and Luxembourg.

Ambassador Vassilenko informed the Grand Duke about the political and socio-economic reforms being implemented on the initiative of President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev. He also provided details on the national referendum regarding a new draft Constitution.

In turn, Grand Duke Guillaume conveyed his best wishes to the Head of State. He noted Kazakhstan's growing role in regional and international politics. The monarch expressed Luxembourg's interest in further developing bilateral cooperation in trade, economic, investment, and financial spheres.
