In an article published ahead of his visit to Kazakhstan this week, Russian President Vladimir Putin shared that the gift of Amur tigers was intended to support Kazakhstan in restoring the population of this rare species.

According to an article published on the Kremlin website on May 26, four tigers that previously lived in the Khabarovsk region of the Russian Far East were flown to Kazakhstan. They are expected to be released back into the wild in Kazakhstan.

According to Reuters, Putin has long used animals as a tool to promote diplomacy . In 2022, the Russian Federation sent 30 thoroughbred grey horses to North Korea. North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is known to be an avid horse rider.

Kazakhstan, a country striving to restore tiger populations in Central Asia, considers the Amur tiger to be a close relative of the extinct Caspian tiger.

Ahead of his state visit to Kazakhstan, Russian President Vladimir Putin published an article on relations between Moscow and Astana in the Kazakhstanskaya Pravda newspaper.

The article, titled "Russia - Kazakhstan: An Alliance in the Heart of Eurasia," was also published on the Kremlin website.

According to the Russian state news agency TASS, in the article, Putin expressed his views on the current state and prospects for the development of relations between Russia and Kazakhstan.

President Putin mentioned the close friendship between the Russian Federation and Kazakhstan, as well as his close relationship with Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.

The leader of the Russian Federation highlighted key areas of cooperation that will promote prosperity for both countries. He also emphasized the close ties of the Russian and Kazakh people to the legacy of the "Great Victory" and their respect for the Russian language.
