Kazakhstan and EU: Strengthening Political and Trade Partnerships
The relationship between Kazakhstan and the European Union has been a cornerstone of Central Asian diplomacy, with the EU serving as a pivotal political and trade partner. This partnership is built on the Enhanced Partnership and Cooperation Agreement (EPCA), which came into effect in March 2020 and has significantly enhanced cooperation in areas such as trade, investment, energy, and climate change. The EU is not only Kazakhstan’s largest trade partner but also its primary foreign investor, contributing significantly to the country’s economic development.
Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev recently underscored the importance of the EU as a strategic partner during a conversation with European Council President António Costa. Their discussion highlighted the mutual interest in deepening cooperation in logistics, energy, sustainable development, and digital transformation. This aligns with the EU’s broader strategy for Central Asia, which aims to strengthen regional cooperation and address common challenges.
In addition to economic ties, Kazakhstan has introduced new visa categories to attract entrepreneurs and digital nomads, further opening its doors to international talent. This move is part of Kazakhstan’s broader strategy to modernize its economy and enhance its global connectivity.
