Kazakhstan and Vietnam will cooperate in the expert and
analytical sphere. The Kazakhstan Institute for Strategic Studies under the
President of the Republic of Kazakhstan (KazISS) and the Ho Chi Minh National
Academy of Politics signed a memorandum of cooperation in Astana. The parties
agreed to hold regular online sessions with the participation of scientific
communities from both countries, where they will discuss opportunities for infrastructure
and investment partnership, as well as approaches and solutions for developing
the agricultural sector and manufacturing industry. Notably, the first such
meeting, hosted by KazISS during the visit of the Vietnamese delegation to the
Kazakh capital, focused on trade, economic, and educational cooperation.
«Last year, our President visited Vietnam, where an
intergovernmental joint action plan was signed to accelerate trade and economic
cooperation in areas such as trade, investment, and agriculture. This expert
collaboration aims, among other things, to foster closer ties and explore new
areas of cooperation, as there is significant potential for joint efforts. In
the first half of last year, trade turnover reached around $610 million,
marking a 3.5-fold increase compared to 2022. This reflects strong growth, and
it’s not the limit, as, in recent years, we have begun actively developing our
cooperation,» said Alisher Tastenov, chief expert at the KazISS Asian Studies
Department.

transport infrastructure, will now closely cooperate with the East Kazakhstan
region. The Kazakh Foreign Ministry notes that the document opens up new
opportunities for increasing bilateral trade turnover and implementing joint
business projects.
