The investment strategy and economic priorities of Kazakhstan were presented to the international business community at an exclusive panel session titled “Kazakhstan – Diplomacy & Trade: Middle Power Countries”, held on October 20-21 as part of the Future Resilience Forum 2025 in London.
The Kazakh delegation was led by Alibek Kuantyrov, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Kazakhstan.
The program of the Kazakh delegation’s visit also included meetings with representatives of the UK Government, business leaders, investors and international financial institutions aimed at expanding partnerships and promoting Kazakhstan’s investment opportunities.
Opening the session, Kuantyrov emphasized Kazakhstan’s commitment to building a resilient and trusted economy: “Kazakhstan is developing an economy founded on resilience, openness and trust. More than USD 474 billion in foreign direct investment stands as proof of the confidence the global business community has in Kazakhstan. Our country is ready to be your partner in building a sustainable, inclusive and interconnected future. We firmly believe that true resilience is achieved through cooperation, and that the future belongs to those who unite rather than divide,” noted Kuantyrov.
Vice Minister of Energy Sanzhar Zharkeshov outlined Kazakhstan’s strategy for ensuring energy security and a gradual transition towards a green economy, highlighting the country’s balanced approach to developing both traditional and renewable energy sources.
The panel explored a wide range of investment opportunities across sectors such as critical minerals, energy, agriculture, transport, finance and healthcare. Kazakhstan was presented as a key link in the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route and a reliable partner in ensuring Eurasia’s food and energy security.
Particular attention was drawn to the successful example of AstraZeneca, which launched local production in Kazakhstan in 2025 – a clear indicator of the country’s growing attractiveness to global pharmaceutical companies and the effectiveness of its investment reforms.
Kazakhstan was highlighted as a resilient, predictable and trustworthy partner, ready to develop long-term, mutually beneficial projects within the evolving architecture of the global economy.
