Indeed Ambassador Ashikbayevhas previously worked alongside Chabad Shluchim and philanthropist Mr. Abraham Shaulson while being the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs back in Kazakhstan.

The delegation also used the opportunity to sponsor and bring much-needed PPE and medical equipment into the country. During the journey it was also the time that the Kazak government was awed by the declaration of Reb Levy Yitzchak’sKever as the Kazakh National Historic Site.

Mr. Ashikbayevconfirmed Kazakhstan’s "...commitment that it will offer all assistance to organize visits for prayer and studying at Rabbi Levi Yitzchak Schneerson's grave.
