Kazakhstan in Central Asia: what are its key priorities?

Kazakhstan has solidified its relations with Central Asian countries through a series of alliance treaties with Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan, Russia, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan. These agreements, focused on security, economic cooperation, and political collaboration, highlight Kazakhstan's vision of "Successful Central Asia – Successful Kazakhstan." While Kazakhstan avoids using the term "integration," it promotes dialogue and cooperation to ensure regional stability, economic growth, and mutual development. With significant emphasis on joint actions against threats, trade, and transport infrastructure, these partnerships underline Kazakhstan’s strategic priorities in Central Asia.
