In 2017, with whom Nazarbayev met in domestic and foreign policy? Which department' head was received by the president in domestic politics?

Nursultan Nazarbayev, who was 77 years old in 2017, surprised the younger generation with his work schedule. He showed that he can still work much more than ten young politicians with his busy schedule. If you look at official website of Akorda, you will see it.

As stated by the official website of Akorda , last year Nursultan Nazarbayev had 20 official visits. 9 of them were abroad, and 11 were official visits around Kazakhstan. In 2017, Nursultan Nazarbayev gave priority in foreign policy to Russia. Last year, he had five meetings with Vladimir Putin, 11 times on a phone call and two trips to northern neighbor for a formal visit. Central Asia is located in second place in foreign policy after Russia. In this regard it is interesting to note that Nursultan Nazarbayev paid more attention to Uzbekistan than other countries in the region. He held meetings with President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev three times, talked five times on a phone call and made one official visit.
