Washington, Nov 7 (EFE).- U.S. President Donald Trump has announced that Kazakhstan will join the Abraham Accords, the normalization agreement signed in 2020 between Israel and several Middle Eastern nations.
In a statement posted Wednesday on Truth Social, Trump called the development “an important step in building bridges around the world.”
Phone call with Netanyahu and Tokayev
The president said he had spoken by phone with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev regarding the accord.
“Kazakhstan is the first country of my second term to join the Abraham Accords—the first of many,” Trump said.
The announcement coincides with Tokayev’s official visit to the White House, where he and other Central Asian leaders attended a dinner hosted at the presidential residence.
Signing ceremony expected soon
Trump said an official signing ceremony would be scheduled shortly, adding that “many more countries are trying to join this club of strength.”
The statement noted that Kazakhstan has maintained full diplomatic relations with Israel since 1992, following the breakup of the Soviet Union. Trump described the decision as an example of “real progress” and congratulated those involved in promoting international peace. EFE
