H.E. Mrs Evelyne Genta spent two weeks in Kazakhstan in order to participate in the preparations for the Monaco National Day at the Astana International Exhibition. The Ambassador met with Kazakh officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as well as members of the protocol team of the President Nazarbayev ahead of the formal visit of H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco. H.E. Mrs Genta also worked alongside M. Kairat Orazbekov, Consul of Monaco in Astana, to invite many Kazakh dignitaries to the events of the 25th June.

The Monaco National Day was a great success where the highlights were the meeting of the two Heads of State and a gala dinner with over 300 guests celebrating the friendship between Monaco and Kazakhstan. The members of the Monegasque delegation were able to engage in positive conversation with their Kazakh counterparts during their stay and in particular during the business forum organised by the Monaco Economic Board. H.E. Mrs Genta gave a speech on this occasion mentioning the business ties that already exist between Monaco and Kazakhstan but also the development opportunities created by the green economy for both countries.
