At the initiative of the Embassy of Kazakhstan in Belgium, Kazakhstan Human Rights Commissioner H.E. Elvira Azimova, held video talks with H.E. Mr. Eamon Gilmore, the EU Special Representative for Human Rights. During the conversation, the two parties discussed a broad range of issues of mutual interest for Kazakhstan and the European Commission.

Azimova informed Gilmore and his colleagues in detail about the work carried out by her office to protect civil rights and freedoms in Kazakhstan, as well as about interaction with official agencies and NGOs. In this regard, the two sides discussed various forms of co-operation between the offices of the Commissioner for Human Rights in Kazakhstan and the EU Special Representative for Human Rights, including within the framework of the existing EU-Kazakhstan and EU-Central Asia dialogue mechanisms in the human dimension.

The colleagues also exchanged views on the results of Azimova’s first working trip to Brussels in mid-July 2021, including her bilateral agreements with the leadership and members of the relevant structures of the European Parliament.
