Dzhusupov was accompanied by Kairat Tursunkulov, First Secretary of the Embassy, and Kabat was joined by Chin-Min Lee, Special Advisor to the IIASA Director General and CEO; Jan Marco Müller, Head of Directorate Office, Science to Policy and Diplomacy Coordinator/Science Officer; Nadejda Komendantova, Research Scholar; and Sergey Sizov, Science Diplomacy Officer.
