Partnership Vector - Kazakhstan

Belarus and Kazakhstan signed a treaty on social and economic cooperation until 2026 in November 2017. In this document, the parties outlined the implementation of a qualitatively new stage in bilateral relations. At the end of June 2021, during the visit of the Belarusian government delegation to this Central Asian country, a task corresponding to this new stage was announced - to reach new indicators in mutual trade by the end of the year. In February 2022, summing up the results of the last year, the parties stated at the highest level that the Belarusian-Kazakh trade turnover exceeded one billion dollars for the first time in history. The commodity distribution network of the Belarusian companies in Kazakhstan includes more than 40 companies and over 170 dealer network entities. A number of joint assembling productions of Belarusian machinery and equipment are also operating there. In October 2022, Astana hosted a high-level working meeting of representatives of the governments of Belarus and Kazakhstan, at which the parties outlined priorities in bilateral relations, including in industrial cooperation. How this mutually beneficial cooperation is developing is discussed in the proposed study.
