The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has confirmed that
Kazakhstan will join BRICS as a partner state starting in 2025. The Kazakhstan
Institute for Strategic Studies (KazISS) highlighted that this partnership is a
new format of relations within BRICS and therefore it has yet to be tested.
Political scientists are convinced that this indicates the strengthening of
multi-vector cooperation with the BRICS countries. This international group was
created to develop economic partnership, stimulate trade, investment, and
technological exchange between developing markets.
«This is the recognition of Kazakhstan, as already noted, as
a middle power, a country with significant potential that attracts interest of
global powers. These are important partners for us, so we would like to test
and try to implement our economic agenda, primarily focusing on non-raw
material exports, production, and processing,» said Sanat Kushkumbayev, chief
research fellow at the KazISS.
