Beknazarov expressed satisfaction over high level of the Kazakh-Iranian cooperation. He emphasized that the official visit of Kazakhstan President to Iran in April 2016 demonstrated that both countries share similar views on international and regional agendas.

The Vice Speaker told about the priorities of non-permanent membership of Kazakhstan in the UN Security Council in 2017-2018 and expressed gratitude to the Iranian side for the support of Kazakhstan's initiative on establishment of the Islamic Organization for Food Security in Astana.
