Tokayev highlighted the productive mediation efforts of Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye, as well as the significant contribution of the United States under President Donald Trump to advancing the peace process and achieving lasting stability in the Middle East.

The negotiations took place in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, with the participation of U.S. national security advisers and special envoys for the Middle East.
