ASTANA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim presented a birthday cake to Kazakhstan President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev on the last day of his official visit to Kazakhstan on Friday.

Tokayev celebrates his 70th birthday on Friday (May 17).
"Before boarding my airplane, I managed to wish President Tokayev a happy birthday.
"Thank you for such a warm welcome to the Malaysian delegation and I. May both our countries’ ties continue to grow stronger for our mutual benefit, Insya-Allah," he posted on Facebook.
Anwar arrived here for a two-day official visit to strengthen ties between Malaysia and Kazakhstan in various fields that began 32 years ago.
