据土耳其安那托利亚通讯社（Anadolu Agency）报道，当地时间12日，哈萨克斯坦总统托卡耶夫在首都阿斯塔纳会见到访的土耳其总统埃尔多安，正式会谈结束后，两国总统打起了乒乓球。

Photos of a table tennis match between Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev provided entertainment on Wednesday. The Turkish president's unusual racket stance in particular caused a stir. The game was played with shirt and tie under a pompous chandelier.

当天的正式会谈结束后，托卡耶夫和埃尔多安脱下西装外套，酣畅淋漓地打起了乒乓球。土耳其安那托利亚通讯社和哈通社接连公布了两国总统在球桌上“对决”的画面。

几局尽兴，二人笑着握手。

有网友表示：这是“乒乓外交”再次上演。

还有眼尖的网友发现了一个有趣的细节：“土耳其总统埃尔多安先生发明了一种新的握拍方式”。

据悉，这不是托卡耶夫与埃尔多安首次在球桌上互动，二人5月在安卡拉举行会晤后也曾一起打乒乓球。

Tokayev and Erdogan already played table tennis during the Kazakh president's state visit to Turkey in May this year. At the time, the Kazakh president’s press secretary, Ruslan Zheldibai, stated that Tokayev and Erdogan had agreed to continue playing table tennis in Kazakhstan in the fall.

哈通社还提到，私下闲暇时，托卡耶夫非常热爱打乒乓球，曾担任哈萨克斯坦乒乓球联合会主席长达13年。
