On April 11, President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev arrived in Uzbekistan on a working visit. Within the framework of the visit, high-level negotiations were held in Bukhara...
Together with the President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev, Tokayev visited the Bahouddin Naqshband Mausoleum in Bukhara and the world-famous monuments of ancient Bukhara—the Ark Fortress, the Poi Kalon, and the Labi Hauz ensembles.
According to the official website of the President of Kazakhstan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev presented a number of historical documents to Tokayev. These archival materials are copies of valuable documents, drawings, and photographic materials found in Uzbekistan in the 1920s–1950s, specifically regarding the mausoleums of Khoja Ahmad Yasawi and Robiya Sultan Begum in Turkestan.
"Many of these materials, which have not yet been introduced into scientific circulation, have great cultural and historical value", Akorda said.

"Dear Shavkat Miromonovich!
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you for the special hospitality and warmth shown during my working visit to the ancient city of Bukhara, a pearl of not only Central Asian but also world civilization.
I am amazed that Uzbekistan preserves and enriches this priceless wealth, harmonizing the great past with modern needs. The beautiful appearance of Bukhara today is a clear reflection of the high effectiveness of your wise and creative policy aimed at building a New Uzbekistan.
... I would like to express my special gratitude for providing archival materials that hold great cultural and historical significance for Kazakhstan. "This action testifies to your tolerance and warm attitude toward the Kazakh people, as well as your worthy recognition of the history of our brotherly countries".
