The speaker will explore the strategic positioning of Kazakhstan and Central Asia in times of geopolitical disruption and shifting geo-economics. Against this challenging background, Kazakhstan, like Singapore, has been going through its own new chapter of the nation-building story.
A Just Kazakhstan is a long-term transformative vision that the Kazakh people and leadership remain strongly committed to. Despite the strong headwinds, Kazakhstan remains by far the largest economy in Central Asia. It has many cards to play – strategic location, great natural endowments, vast agricultural potential and, most importantly, young and dynamic people.
Kazakhstan looks forward to strengthening ties with Singapore, a trusted friend and key partner in ASEAN. In its turn, a more capable Kazakhstan is a partner of choice for Singapore in Central Asia.
The exchange of Presidential visits in 2023 and 2024 has reinvigorated the wide-ranging political and economic collaboration. The promising areas for the win-win engagement with Singapore include water management, AI, connectivity, agribusiness, renewable energy, smart cities, life-long education and skills training, science and innovation, tourism, and digital economy.
As the humanity enters a more dangerous and troubled world, Kazakhstan and Singapore share similar views on the main regional and international issues.
History has proven time and again that size alone does not warrant eventual success.
Middle nations, like Kazakhstan and Singapore, have their own powerful agency to promote multilateralism and international law.
