Kazakhstan is stepping up its engagement with Afghanistan, focusing on humanitarian, educational, and economic collaboration, according to an official announcement from the Kazakh presidency.
President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev met with his Special Representative for Afghanistan, Yerkin Tukumov, to review progress and chart a path for deeper bilateral cooperation. During the meeting, Tokayev emphasized Tukumov’s pivotal role in advancing ties with Kabul, particularly in trade, economic, and humanitarian fields.
The President reaffirmed Kazakhstan’s commitment to promoting peace and stability in Afghanistan through sustained humanitarian and educational programs. He also underscored the importance of utilizing the UN Regional Centre for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), based in Almaty, as a key platform for joint regional initiatives focused on Central Asia and Afghanistan.
Tokayev stated that Kazakhstan would continue to support efforts aimed at creating long-term stability in Afghanistan, adding that bilateral cooperation would also include infrastructure development.
Recently, Kazakhstan and Afghanistan signed a memorandum outlining the foundational principles for constructing and operating a railway that would connect Central and South Asia, a strategic move to boost regional connectivity and economic integration.
The meeting highlights Kazakhstan’s growing role in supporting Afghanistan’s recovery and regional reintegration through constructive diplomacy and targeted assistance.
