Georgian President Georgi Margvelashvili will visit Astana in late June, the Georgian Ambassador to Kazakhstan Zurab Abashidze said after the ceremony of presenting credentials to Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev.

“The visit is expected on June 29-30. It will make an additional contribution to our political, trade, economic, investment, humanitarian and cultural relations,” Sputnik-Kazakhstan cited Abashidze as saying.
