Austria and Kazakhstan: Record Trade Turnover and New Horizons

Bilateral relations between Austria and Kazakhstan have reached a historic high, marked by active political dialogue, a surge in official visits, and a record trade turnover of 2.8 billion euros. Today, around 400 Austrian companies are operating in the Kazakh market: from industry and logistics to healthcare and tourism.

Austria’s Ambassador to Kazakhstan, Andrea Bacher, explains why Central Asia is becoming a strategic focus for Vienna, and how the economy, ecology, and education are increasingly interwoven on the shared agenda.
