Russia – Kazakhstan
Cooperation between Russia and Kazakhstan is at a high level in both the business community and in educational and cultural spheres. We are connected to the Republic of Kazakhstan by historical ties, shared cultural values, and economic and integration cooperation. The current transformation of the international economy, which the industry is undergoing today, has required new solutions and new formats of interaction for businesses. In 2024, we celebrate the anniversary of the integration partnership of the EAEU, which has further strengthened the Russian-Kazakh dialogue through the laws and standards of the EAEU in the field of entrepreneurship and industrial development. Finding solutions to the challenges faced by the industry is the focus of many institutions: from the government, business councils, and sectoral business associations, to diplomatic services and the supranational institution of the EAEU. However, even with such multifaceted and long-term cooperation between the two countries, various institutions influence it in different ways. What does Russian-Kazakh cooperation look like in 2024? What promising business projects are currently being implemented in Russian-Kazakh cooperation? Do diplomatic institutions and associations contribute to strengthening the economic agenda of the two countries? How is the industry in Russia and Kazakhstan navigating the transformation period under new conditions?
