Kazakhstan and Serbia sign ten documents on cooperation

Ten documents were signed between Kazakhstan and Serbia during the official visit of President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev to Belgrade. All of them are aimed at deepening the partnership and cover cooperation in priority areas, including space activities, the military-industrial complex, digital technologies, tourism, and education. Following high-level talks, the Presidents of Kazakhstan and Serbia addressed the media, reiterating the productivity and strategic significance of the visit. According to Tokayev, joint projects are expected in the transport and logistics sector, as well as in green energy. He also highlighted  cooperation in the agricultural sector.

«Given Serbia’s extensive experience in agriculture, we have agreed to strengthen mutually beneficial ties. Agreements have been reached on the exchange of expertise in veterinary issues, the expansion of genetic resources, organic farming, and plant biotechnology. The importance of establishing partnerships between educational institutions and agricultural research organizations has also been emphasized,» he said.

Tokayev emphasized the growing importance of cultural and humanitarian ties between Astana and Belgrade. He expressed Kazakhstan’s willingness to collaborate on joint educational, scientific, and cultural projects. The Presidents also shared their views on global and regional security.

«Kazakhstan and Serbia have established close relations at the international and regional levels. We hold similar positions on many pressing issues. We have confirmed our interest in further strengthening cooperation within multilateral structures in the current complex geopolitical situation,» Tokayev noted.

An example of sincere participation and friendship between the countries is Serbia’s financial assistance to Kazakhstan during the unprecedented floods this spring. Tokayev expressed his gratitude to the Serbian people and personally to President Aleksandar Vucic for their support. Next year, the Presidents will once again exchange their views, when Vucic will visit Astana.
