Kazakhstan is advancing its international collaborations and technological infrastructure, highlighted by President Tokayev’s announcement of the upcoming AlemAI International Centre for AI in Astana and the development of “CryptoCity,” a digital assets experimental zone. The country is also focusing on digital finance, with nearly 90% of transactions now cashless, and plans to launch a national Safe City platform integrating AI-driven surveillance to enhance security. Additionally, Kazakhstan is expanding renewable energy projects, with over 90 initiatives underway, and preparing to sign a significant intergovernmental agreement with Russia to build its first nuclear power plant.

Cultural and sporting achievements also feature prominently, with Nazarbayev University hosting a Kazakhstan-China cultural forum to strengthen bilateral ties, and Kazakhstan winning medals in international competitions, including a historic first gold at the Asian U21 Beach Volleyball Championships. The government supports agricultural exports by adapting traditional products like dried kumys and horse meat to meet foreign market standards, backed by state loans and leasing programs to boost production. These developments collectively underscore Kazakhstan’s multifaceted progress in innovation, international cooperation, and cultural diplomacy.
