    Rio Tinto, a British-Australian multinational corporation, boasts an impressive $99 bn market capitalization, making it the world's second-largest mining company, trailing only behind Australian mining giant BHP. The company holds a diversified portfolio of assets across the globe, with significant operations in Australia (35%), Canada (34%), Europe (13%), and the United States (11%). Their interests span various sectors, including iron ore, aluminum, copper, bauxite, diamonds, uranium, and industrial minerals.

    President Tokayev's visit to New York, which commenced on September 17, has seen him engage with top executives from major American companies to explore potential avenues for cooperation and investment. His visit also includes a scheduled address at the General Debate of the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly, highlighting Kazakhstan's commitment to international partnerships and sustainable development.

    The meeting between President Tokayev and Rio Tinto's CEO Jakob Stausholm signals a new chapter in Kazakhstan's mining industry, fostering collaboration between a global mining powerhouse and a nation abundant in mineral wealth.
