During a meeting with Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev in the Chinese city of Xi'an, Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Wednesday that China is strongly supportive of Kazakhstan protecting its sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity. 

"An independent, secure, stable, developed, and prosperous Kazakhstan meets the common interests of the Chinese and Kazakh peoples. China firmly supports Kazakhstan in protecting national independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity, and supports Kazakhstan in pursuing a development path that is in line with its national realities," Xi said, as quoted by the China Central Television broadcaster (CCTV).

On November 21, 2022, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev secured a second term as President of Kazakhstan with 81% of the vote out of a population of 19 million. 

His reelection would have a significant impact on domestic stability given that it came months after severe internal turmoil was witnessed in the form of deadly unrest in January 2022 on rising prices of liquefied natural gas.
