Geneva, 15 September 2025 – At the Special meeting of the WTO General Council, it was officially announced that the Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies has entered into force. The final instruments of acceptance, ensuring the required threshold for entry into force, were deposited by Brazil, Kenya, Tonga and Viet Nam.The Agreement was adopted on 17 June 2022 at the 12th WTO Ministerial Conference (MC12), held under the chairmanship of Kazakhstan. This is only the second new WTO agreement since the Organization was established, and the first since the Trade Facilitation Agreement, adopted in Bali in 2013 and entered into force in 2017.The Agreement prohibits subsidies contributing to illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing, subsidies for the exploitation of overfished stocks, and subsidies for fishing in unregulated areas of the high seas. In doing so, it will help cut down on the USD 22 billion in harmful subsidies provided annually, thereby protecting marine ecosystems. Estimates show that IUU fishing accounts for up to 20% of global catch.According to WTO Director-General Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies “is not only about preserving deteriorating fish stocks, but also about protecting the livelihoods and food security of millions of people. It is a response to challenges relating to global public goods, and a demonstration that the multilateral trading system is capable of delivering real results.”Kazakhstan ratified the Agreement on 19 June 2024, when President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev signed the Law “On Ratification of the Protocol Amending the Marrakesh Agreement Establishing the World Trade Organization.”Kazakhstan’s Permanent Representative to the WTO, Kairat Torebayev, emphasized: “As the world’s largest landlocked country, strengthening the multilateral trading system is of special importance to Kazakhstan. We are proud that at MC12, chaired by our country, this historic decision was adopted. Today’s step confirms that the WTO can reach agreements of global significance. We will continue to support members’ efforts to conclude further negotiations and implement the commitments already achieved.”UNCTAD Secretary-General Rebeca Grynspan conveyed a message from UN Secretary-General António Guterres, who congratulated the WTO on this important outcome and underlined that the entry into force of the Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies represents a vital contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals, fully meeting SDG target 14.6 aimed at protecting the world’s oceans.Prime Ministers of Barbados, Chile, Iceland and Malaysia also delivered video messages, congratulating WTO members and highlighting the importance of this historic agreement for safeguarding oceans and strengthening a fair international trading system.Although the Agreement was ratified by two-thirds of members, it enters into force today for all WTO members. In case of a breach of its provisions by any member, disputes may be brought to the WTO Dispute Settlement Body.In addition, 17 countries have contributed a total of USD 18 million to the dedicated WTO Fisheries Fund, which will provide technical assistance and support to developing and least-developed countries in implementing the Agreement.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mfa-wto/press/news/details/1068809?lang=kk

In his Address to the People of Kazakhstan today, Head of State Kassym-Jomart Tokayev outlined a number of specific tasks for the country's socio-economic development, digital transformation, and the introduction of artificial intelligence technologies. According to the President, Kazakhstan must become a full-fledged mass digital country within the next three years. Otherwise, there is a great risk of falling behind in global competition. "It is necessary to urgently introduce digitalization and artificial intelligence tools into all sectors of the economy," the President gave a specific task, stating that the country intends to form a National Digital Development Strategy. As Kassym-Jomart Kemeluly said, "only a country that can adapt to the currents will prosper." Turning to artificial intelligence is a path aimed not only at meeting global requirements, but also at improving the country's future. The President emphasized that young people have a high ability to adapt to the radical changes taking place in the world today. Undoubtedly, the digital literacy and mastery of technology among young people is the main guarantee of the future development of Kazakhstan. The Head of State did not forget about the importance of culture and art in the era of artificial intelligence. “Cultural figures must adapt to the demands of the new era,” said Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, noting that support is provided to artists, and the issue of infrastructure is also not left out of consideration. Citing the wise words of Hakim Abai, “A person’s humanity comes from reason, science, a good father, a good mother, a good friend, and a good teacher,” the President noted that the basis for the development of the country is the conscious, active, and educated citizens of modern Kazakhstan. In his Address, the President spoke extensively about Kazakhstan's multi-vector and constructive foreign policy. According to him, today many states are interested in establishing friendly relations with Kazakhstan and strengthening effective cooperation. "In the era of digitalization and artificial intelligence, a foreign policy that meets the national strategic interests of our state is the main factor contributing to our socio-economic stability," the Head of State said.

Bukharbai Parmanov, Chairman of the Public Council under the Shymkent City Akimat: A step taken in the interest of the people I fully support Kassym-Jomart Tokayev's initiative to transition to a unicameral Parliament. I would like to note that this decision is based on the timing and logic of the development of political changes in the country. The President pays special attention not only to structural changes, but also to the substantive modernization of the system of power, where efficiency and transparency prevail. The fact that the head of state approached this issue with the utmost responsibility, without haste and pressure, and with respect for the opinion of society is a clear manifestation of a true political style. The leader does not make firm demands, but rather makes suggestions, opens up discussions, and gives time to think. In the case of Kazakhstan, a bicameral system sometimes slows down processes, requires excessive costs, and does not produce the results expected by society. Therefore, the idea of a unicameral Parliament is a long-standing issue. Simplifying the structure would bring the legislative branch closer to the people, remove unnecessary obstacles, and allow for the prompt adoption of important decisions. The main thing is that the people have the final say. As our President noted, a reform of this level should be implemented only through a referendum. If society supports this initiative, Kazakhstan will have a compact, mobile and accountable legislative system. Such a Parliament will work not for formality, but for the benefit of the people.

Astana, September 15, 2025 – Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan Arman Issetov held a meeting with Martin Roger, Undersecretary for Political Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Estonia.During the meeting, they discussed a wide range of issues, including the deepening of bilateral cooperation in the political, trade and economic, investment, and cultural-humanitarian areas.Deputy Minister Issetov emphasized that Estonia is an important and reliable partner of Kazakhstan in the Baltic Sea region. In particular, both parties noted their interest in further developing the traditionally friendly relations between the two countries.The diplomats agreed to consider new practical steps to expand trade, economic ties and implement investment projects. In this context, they touched upon the implementation of the decisions adopted following the 7th session of the Kazakh-Estonian Intergovernmental Commission on Economic and Scientific-Technical Cooperation, which took place in January 2025 in Tallinn.Special attention was also given to enhancing cooperation in the fields of transport and logistics. Interest was expressed in establishing trade routes connecting Central Asia and Europe.Following the meeting, the schedule of upcoming events including plans for reciprocal high-level visits was reviewed.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mfa/press/news/details/1068721?lang=kk

In his next Address to the people of Kazakhstan, the Head of State raised topical issues aimed at regulating and developing the socio-economic situation of the country, proposed mechanisms for their resolution, and gave instructions to the relevant state structures. The development of the digitalization system, attracting investment to the country, developing the manufacturing industry, and addressing gaps in the housing and communal services - all of this did not go unnoticed by the President. "Modernization of housing and communal services and water infrastructure is a fundamental factor for sustainable development. Due to the inaction of the government and local executive authorities, the housing and communal services of our country have been neglected for decades, and their condition has fallen into a very difficult state. Now, appropriate measures are being taken to change this situation and reduce the level of infrastructure deterioration. These include measures such as liberalizing tariffs, forming a new model for managing energy and housing and communal services infrastructure. According to this model, as tariffs increase, reliable and high-quality services should be provided to the population. The concept of creating a "Smart City" will undoubtedly help in this, which should be extended to all regions of the country. It is necessary to use advanced international practices and attract qualified leaders, including foreign specialists," said Kassym-Jomart Tokayev. The need for modernization of housing and communal services is evident from the requests of residents who come to the iKomek center. The majority of calls concern infrastructure issues. Although the city authorities are working in this direction, modernization work is still necessary to achieve significant results. It is clear that after the work is carried out systematically, it will be possible to create a comfortable environment for the population. The Head of State also noted that natural water resources in the country are decreasing, and instructed to promote the culture of water consumption and conservation within the country, especially among the younger generation. This is an urgent issue not only for today, but also for tomorrow.
