Budapest, 23 June 2026 – Ambassador of Kazakhstan to Hungary Abzal Saparbekuly met with Mr. Tamás Jakkel, President of the International Canine Federation (FCI).

During the meeting, the Ambassador expressed his gratitude to Mr. Jakkel for his support in promoting and popularising Kazakhstan’s national dog breeds at the international level.

The parties exchanged views on cooperation in the field of cynology, the preservation of national dog breeds, as well as the further strengthening of the international status of the Kazakh Tazy breed.

It should be noted that on 3 September 2024, the International Canine Federation officially recognised the Kazakh Tazy breed on a provisional basis and confirmed Kazakhstan as the country of origin of the breed. This decision marked an important historic step in preserving national heritage and promoting the Kazakh Tazy worldwide.

At the conclusion of the meeting, the parties reaffirmed their readiness to continue contacts in this area and to develop cooperation in promoting Kazakhstan’s national dog breeds on the international stage.
