New projects for the extraction
and processing of critical raw materials may soon appear in Kazakhstan.
American companies are interested in expanding geological exploration
activities in the country, as stated by Ambassador of the United States to
Kazakhstan Daniel Rosenblum at a press briefing in Astana. He emphasized that
the recent dialogue of US President Joe Biden with the leaders of Central Asian
states at the C5+1 summit in New York opened up such an opportunity. Also, Rosenblum
noted that Washington supports President Tokayev’s initiative to set up the UN
Regional Centre on Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) for Central Asia and
Afghanistan in Almaty.
“As I understand, the proposal of
government of Kazakhstan, this hub that will be in Almaty will be focused on
achieving of SDG of the UN. We do think that SDG are a good thing that we
should all work towards there, so if having such hub will help us to get us
there faster, especially in this region, it is a good thing,” Rosenblum said.
