Kazakhstan, with its balanced and constructive foreign
policy, plays a crucial role in fostering effective cooperation between
countries in the Eurasian region and globally. Located at the heart of Eurasia,
the topic of continental dialogue is particularly relevant for Kazakhstan. This
was highlighted by the Russian Ambassador to Kazakhstan, Alexey Borodavkin,
during an international roundtable in Astana. The event brought together
representatives of the diplomatic corps, analysts, as well as experts and
scholars from both countries. According to speakers, Kazakhstan has played a
key role since the establishment of international organizations and structures
such as the SCO, ASEAN, CIS, CSTO, and CICA. The activation of dialogue and the
strengthening of ties between these international associations are of
particular importance. Furthermore, discussions focused on Kazakhstan's growing
role in regional security architecture and the comprehensive development of
Kazakh-Russian relations in political, economic, humanitarian, and trade
sectors.
«Economic ties are developing successfully. Last year, we
nearly reached $30 billion. Trade turnover is growing steadily, along with our
investment relations. According to official statistics, investments in
Kazakhstan exceeded $4 billion last year. We have a large number of joint
ventures,» Borodavkin said.
«Kazakhstan is one of the key partners in the Eurasian
space. Together with Belarus, Russia, and other members of the Eurasian Union,
we make a significant contribution to the development of the EAEU,» said
Tuleutay Suleimenov, Professor at the Academy of Public Administration under the
President of Kazakhstan.
