Under Presidential Order No. 306 of 1 July 2026, the membership of the Foreign Investors’ Council under the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan has been updated. The revised composition replaces that approved by Presidential Order No. 174 of 1 October 2024.

The Foreign Investors’ Council is an advisory body chaired by the President of Kazakhstan. It serves as a key platform for direct dialogue between the Government and the international business community. The Council traditionally brings together chief executives of major global companies and international organizations. Its foreign membership currently includes leaders of 34 leading international companies and organizations, as well as 8 observers.

The updated foreign membership includes several new participants. Martin Vaujour, President of Alstom for Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia, who previously participated in the Council’s work as an observer, has become a full member. Moutaz Al-Khayyat, Chairman of Power International Holding, has also joined the Council as a full member.

Observer status has been granted to Thomas Pramotedham, Chief Executive Officer of Presight AI Holding PLC, and Muhammad Sulaiman Al Jasser, President of the Islamic Development Bank.

The Kazakh side of the Council has also been updated. New members include Assel Zhanassova, Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration of the Republic of Kazakhstan; Nurlan Baibazarov, Assistant to the President of Kazakhstan for Economic Affairs; Nurlan Sauranbayev, Minister of Transport of the Republic of Kazakhstan; and Ardak Zebeshev, Chairman of the Investment Committee of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

The updated membership reflects Kazakhstan’s continued efforts to broaden its dialogue with international business. The participation of senior executives from leading global companies and financial institutions will further strengthen investment cooperation and enhance Kazakhstan’s attractiveness to global capital.
