Kazakhstan's international authority is consistently strengthening. Special attention is paid to discussing the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals and the search for optimal solutions at various venues. Every three years, Kazakhstan presents its Voluntary National Reviews at the High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development. This was announced by Vice Minister of National Economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan Asan Darbayev at a press conference in the CCS.
The presentation of a Voluntary national Review on such an international platform for Kazakhstan is not only an opportunity to demonstrate its achievements and identify existing challenges, but also a way to obtain international expert assessment, access to international best practices and participate in open discussions, which ultimately contributes to strengthening national capacities in the field of sustainable development.
To date, Kazakhstan has submitted 3 national reviews.
"This year, within the framework of the High-level Political Forum held at the United Nations Headquarters, Kazakhstan participated among 144 States and was among 37 countries that submitted their third Voluntary National Survey. In this review, special attention was paid to localization issues - the transfer of global goals to the level of regions and local communities. The review preparation process was based on an inclusive approach: 25 government agencies and all local executive bodies were involved in its development," the speaker said.
A key feature of the 2025 review was the broad participation of civil society, scientific and expert communities.
In preparation for the review, a series of regional seminars were held to discuss the draft document and its localization issues.
The global sustainable development agenda requires consolidation of efforts and development of regional cooperation. With the support of the Secretary-General of the United Nations and partner States, a new UN Regional Center for Sustainable Development Goals for Central Asia and Afghanistan was opened in Almaty.
