Additionally, Kazakhstan continues to strengthen its cooperation with the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) through various initiatives, including the UN-SPIDER program, which aims to ensure access to space technologies for developing countries to effectively manage disaster risks and mitigate their consequences.

During the 62nd session of the COPUOS Scientific and Technical Subcommittee, held in February 2025, Kazakhstan proposed the establishment of the Regional Space Situational Awareness Center in Almaty, affiliated with the United Nations. This initiative was included in the final document of the STSC session, and active discussions on its implementation are currently ongoing.

The annual COPUOS session will continue until 2 July 2025. Strategic decisions are expected to be made during the session, focusing on the sustainable and responsible use of outer space, the development of mechanisms to prevent the creation and actively reduce space debris, as well as strengthening international cooperation in the exploration of the Moon and other celestial bodies.
