Dr. Amal Abdullah Al Qubaisi, Speaker of the Federal National Council (FNC), received a message from Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, Chairman of the Senate of the Parliament of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
The message was delivered to Dr. Al Qubaisi by Lama Sharif, Ambassador of Kazakhstan to the UAE, during a meeting at the FNC in Abu Dhabi on Thursday. The note included an invitation to the FNC speaker to participate at the International Conference on Religions Against Terrorism, to be hosted by Kazakhstan on May 31.
