In his welcoming speech, the Ambassador informed the participants about the key areas of socio-economic reforms being implemented by the country's leadership, aimed at modernizing the economy and improving the well-being of the population. Special attention was paid to the constitutional reform being carried out in Kazakhstan.

B.Nussupov called on the Honorary Consuls to intensify their efforts to protect the rights and interests of citizens of the Republic of Kazakhstan, to strengthen assistance in the development of investment cooperation with the regions of South America, and to initiate proposals for expanding the legal framework. In this context, it was proposed to organize trade and economic business missions to Kazakhstan in 2026, including those timed to coincide with the GECA-2026 International Geological Forum, the Machine Builders Forum, and the Export Insurance Forum, which will take place in April this year in Astana.

In the field of investment cooperation, successful projects involving Brazilian companies WEG and Water System Technologies, as well as Chilean company ME Elecmetal, implemented in Kazakhstan, were noted.

The ambassador also stressed the importance of intensifying work on the creation of friendship groups in the parliaments of the countries of the region and the formation of business councils.

The Ambassador also stressed the importance of intensifying efforts to establish friendship groups in the parliaments of the region's countries, form business councils, and develop friendship societies at the level of civil and public organizations. Particular emphasis was placed on the upcoming inter-ministerial consultations this year with a number of South American states, within the framework of which joint economic events are proposed.

In this context, the work of the Honorary Consuls of Kazakhstan in Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay in promoting the creation of parliamentary friendship groups and initiatives to form bilateral business councils was noted.

In their speeches, the Honorary Consuls of the Republic of Kazakhstan reported on the work done to expand political, trade, economic, cultural, and humanitarian ties, and presented proposals on priority areas for joint activities for 2026.
