Five railway stations renovated in East Kazakhstan 03.09.2026
A large-scale phase of railway infrastructure modernization has been completed in the East Kazakhstan Region. As part of the national programme being implemented on the instructions of the Head of State, five railway stations in the region have been renovated — in the cities of Ust-Kamenogorsk, Ridder and Shemonaikha, as well as at the Altai and Kumistau stations.In Ust-Kamenogorsk, the railway station of the Oskemen-1 station has been reconstructed. A modern railway station complex with an area of approximately 2,500 square metres was built to replace the building constructed in 1938. The facility serves more than 2,000 passengers daily. Twelve passenger trains pass through the station, connecting the regional centre with Astana, Almaty and other cities of Kazakhstan.The railway stations in Ridder and Shemonaikha have also undergone large-scale modernization. As part of the work, the facades and interior premises, engineering networks, passenger platforms and adjacent areas were renovated. Following the reconstruction, the area of the Ridder railway station is 471 square metres, while the area of the Shemonaikha railway station is 230 square metres.In the Altai district, the railway stations of Altai and Kumistau were opened after reconstruction. The buildings, constructed in the 1950s, have retained their historical appearance, while their engineering systems, waiting rooms and passenger platforms have been fully modernized.Particular attention was paid to passenger accessibility and safety as part of the modernization. The renovated railway stations are equipped with ramps, lifting platforms, tactile navigation and Braille signs, as well as modern fire and security systems.The development of railway infrastructure is important not only for improving the quality of services for the population, but also for the further development of tourism in East Kazakhstan. Modern and comfortable railway stations contribute to improving the transport accessibility of tourist areas, create favourable conditions for travellers and help create a positive first impression among visitors to the region.The modernization of railway infrastructure continues throughout the country. As part of the programme, 124 railway stations are being renovated. Since the beginning of the 2026 summer season, 70 facilities have already resumed operations following reconstruction.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/tourism-vko/press/news/details/1285008?lang=ru
Cambodia is adopting Kazakhstan's advanced approaches to digitalizing public services 03.09.2026
A delegation from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Kingdom of Cambodia visited the State Corporation "Government for Citizens" to study Kazakhstan's experience in digitalization and modernization of the public service delivery system.During the visit, the foreign guests learned about front-office operations, how applications are received and documents are issued, and how modern solutions are being implemented to improve the quality and speed of service delivery to citizens.The scale of the existing system allowed the delegation to gain a first-hand understanding of how government services are provided to the public in Kazakhstan. Currently, 318 front-offices operate in the country, where citizens can access 1,330 types of government services. Of these, 1,272 services are available online through the e-Government Portal.During the visit, the delegation was shown the modernized "Digital Citizens' Offices," designed according to Kaizen principles, with rational zoning and expanded self-service areas, as well as 24-hour parcel terminals, allowing citizens to receive completed documents 24/7. The Cambodian representatives were particularly interested in the new format of digital public service centers—AI offices, which combine artificial intelligence technologies and biometric identification and offer three functional areas: SELF for obtaining information through self-service terminals, DIGITAL for arranging online services, and ASSIST for resolving complex issues with the help of a consultant.Representatives from the Cambodian Ministry of Interior highly praised the practical significance of the solutions presented. Of particular interest to the delegation were the implementation of digitalization of processes, the development of self-service, and the use of modern technologies, which can be taken into account in the further improvement of Cambodia's public service delivery system.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/abay-kurchatov/press/news/details/1285128?lang=ru
Kazakhstan Advances Energy and Water Cooperation within BRICS 03.09.2026
New Delhi, 2 September 2026. Ambassador of the Republic of Kazakhstan to the Republic of India Azamat Yeskarayev participated in the diplomatic dialogue “BRICS Energy Partnerships for Progress and Prosperity,” dedicated to BRICS priorities in strengthening energy security and resilience. The event brought together heads of diplomatic missions of BRICS member and partner countries, as well as representatives of India’s expert and academic communities.The discussion provided an opportunity for an exchange of views on the prospects for energy cooperation within BRICS, the development of renewable energy, critical minerals, advanced energy technologies, infrastructure, and investment cooperation. Participants highlighted the need to strengthen the resilience of supply chains, develop new energy and transport corridors, and expand technological cooperation among BRICS members and partners.In his remarks, Ambassador Yeskarayev presented Kazakhstan’s position on the role of BRICS in shaping a more sustainable and inclusive global energy system, highlighting Kazakhstan’s potential in traditional and renewable energy, critical minerals, and the development of Eurasian transport and energy connectivity.Particular attention was drawn to the initiative of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev to establish an International Water Organization under the auspices of the United Nations as part of the UN80 reform process. It was emphasized that energy, food, and water security are closely interconnected, while growing pressure on water resources requires enhanced international coordination. Kazakhstan’s initiative seeks to consolidate existing international efforts, enhance the effectiveness of cooperation, and ensure that the global water agenda receives the necessary political attention.Participation in this event and the discussion of cooperation within the BRICS partnership framework are particularly timely in the lead-up to the BRICS Summit, to be held in New Delhi on 12–13 September 2026.

Wildlife of East Kazakhstan — Captured by Camera Traps 03.09.2026
In East Kazakhstan, work continues to monitor and preserve the region’s unique natural biodiversity. Camera traps installed in the region’s specially protected natural areas make it possible to record rare animal species in their natural habitats.In the West Altai State Nature Reserve, camera traps recorded a brown bear — one of the characteristic representatives of the Altai taiga — as well as a maral deer inhabiting the mountain forests of East Kazakhstan.The footage obtained in the Katon-Karagay State National Nature Park is of particular importance. Camera traps recorded a snow leopard — a rare and protected species and one of the symbols of the region’s mountain ecosystems. Individual images made it possible to observe a female snow leopard together with her three cubs.In the Markakol State Nature Reserve, a camera trap also recorded a Siberian roe deer — a representative of the rich fauna of the Southern Altai.The use of camera traps is important for studying the condition of wild animal populations, monitoring their behavior, and assessing the state of natural ecosystems. The materials obtained also make it possible to visually demonstrate the natural wealth of East Kazakhstan.The presence of such unique natural complexes as the West Altai State Nature Reserve, the Katon-Karagay State National Nature Park and the Markakol State Nature Reserve in the region creates significant potential for the development of ecological and educational tourism.Preserving natural heritage and promoting responsible attitudes towards the environment remain important conditions for the sustainable development of the tourism industry in East Kazakhstan.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/tourism-vko/press/news/details/1285001?lang=ru

IFIMES Expert: Kazakhstan’s ‘Strategic Redundancy’ Is Reshaping Its Role in Eurasia 03.09.2026
ASTANA – Central Asia and the Western Balkans may be geographically distant, but they are not economically or strategically disconnected. Their positions between major European and Eurasian markets create opportunities that have yet to be fully developed, according to Prof. Dr. Zijad Bećirović, director of the International Institute for Middle Eastern and Balkan Studies (IFIMES) in Ljubljana.According to Bećirović, the next step for Europe and Central Asia is to give the dialogue greater economic substance.According to him, Astana is developing a more sophisticated foreign policy model, which he described as “strategic redundancy,” seeking to reduce dependence by creating multiple political, economic, diplomatic, energy and transport options.“This is a highly sophisticated approach to international relations,” Bećirović said in an interview with The Astana Times, noting that resilience increasingly depends on having alternatives while maintaining constructive relations across different geopolitical divides.He said that this approach is becoming increasingly relevant as the international environment grows more fragmented and unpredictable. Rather than simply balancing competing powers, Kazakhstan is building a portfolio of relationships and routes that can reinforce one another and provide alternatives when geopolitical conditions change.From geopolitical dialogue to economic diplomacyBećirović’s assessment also reflects the changing role that IFIMES itself seeks to play. He is visiting Kazakhstan together with Janez Škrabec, founder and director of Slovenia-based RIKO, in what he described as part of a broader effort to connect political dialogue with practical economic cooperation.IFIMES has held Special Consultative Status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council since 2018 and publishes the international scientific journal European Perspectives. Bećirović said this institutional position allows the institute to connect political, academic and economic perspectives.“We increasingly believe that economic diplomacy should complement political and security dialogue. In the current geopolitical environment, strategic relationships become sustainable when political understanding is translated into concrete economic interests, investment, technology transfer and long-term partnerships,” he said.RIKO, which Bećirović described as one of Slovenia’s most internationally recognized engineering companies, combines engineering expertise, advanced technologies, project management and implementation. He sees this expertise as relevant to Kazakhstan’s development priorities in sectors including energy, infrastructure, industry, environmental technologies and water management.The objective, he stressed, is not simply to identify commercial opportunities, but to explore projects in which European expertise, technology and engineering capabilities can contribute to Kazakhstan’s long-term development objectives.“Our objective is to turn geopolitical understanding into economic connectivity, investment and concrete projects,” Bećirović said.Kazakhstan as a Eurasian anchorBećirović sees Kazakhstan’s role becoming even more significant as the structure of Eurasian trade and connectivity changes. In his view, its importance extends beyond its territory and natural resources. What distinguishes the country is its ability to engage with different geopolitical centers while preserving strategic autonomy and avoiding dependence on any single power. He linked this directly to the evolution of Kazakhstan’s foreign policy under President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, arguing that the country’s strategic value is greatest when it remains open, connected and predictable.“What we are witnessing today is a shift from traditional geopolitical balancing towards what I would call strategic redundancy,” Bećirović said, describing it as the deliberate development of “multiple, mutually reinforcing channels of cooperation” in diplomacy, trade, transport, energy, investment and technology.For Kazakhstan, the logic is particularly relevant as transport corridors are being reconfigured, supply chains diversified and new economic centers emerge across Eurasia.Bećirović pointed specifically to the expansion of the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route and other connectivity corridors linking Asia and Europe, saying Kazakhstan is exceptionally well positioned to benefit from these changes. But he also stressed that connectivity should not be viewed as a purely economic issue.“Economic connectivity and security can no longer be treated as separate concepts,” he said.Reliable transport routes, diversified energy supplies, investment opportunities and sustained political dialogue are becoming interconnected elements of strategic stability, he argued. A country that contributes to all of these dimensions strengthens not only its own resilience, but also that of the wider Eurasian space. In this sense, he believes Kazakhstan should no longer be viewed only through the traditional lens of Central Asian geopolitics.“Kazakhstan is increasingly positioning itself as a European, Asian and Eurasian partner simultaneously,” Bećirović said.He described the country as an actor capable not only of connecting different regions, interests and geopolitical perspectives, but also of shaping emerging patterns of cooperation among them.Beyond the East-West “bridge” narrativeFor years, Kazakhstan’s international role has often been described in terms of its ability to serve as a bridge between East and West. Bećirović believes that description is now becoming too limited. In his assessment, Kazakhstan’s real strategic advantage lies in its ability to convert geography into connectivity and political independence into resilience.“Astana is therefore no longer simply a bridge between East and West. It is increasingly becoming an actor shaping the future of Eurasia,” he said.That interpretation also expands the geography of Kazakhstan’s potential partnerships. Bećirović sees significant room for stronger economic links between Central Asia and Europe, including the Western Balkans, where he believes substantial potential remains underdeveloped. Rather than focusing only on bilateral ties, he said economic diplomacy should increasingly build broader networks linking markets, investors, institutions and regions.“Kazakhstan can serve as an important gateway between Central Asia and Europe, while the Western Balkans can provide an additional platform for connecting European markets with the wider Eurasian space,” he said.A Central Asia–Western Balkans platformThe challenge for Europe and Central Asia, according to Bećirović, is no longer primarily to establish political dialogue. That foundation already exists. The next step is to give that dialogue greater economic substance.“Europe and Central Asia have established a solid political dialogue, but I believe the economic dimension now needs to become much more ambitious and tangible,” he said.The key challenge, he added, is translating political understanding into concrete projects, investment, connectivity and long-term institutional partnerships. This is also where he sees IFIMES’s role expanding further: acting as a bridge between political decision-makers, the business community and the expert community, while creating platforms where geopolitical analysis can connect to practical economic opportunities.One of IFIMES’s most concrete ideas is to organize a Central Asia–Western Balkans Summit in Belgrade. Bećirović said the initiative reflects the institute’s belief that the two regions, despite their geographical distance, have complementary economic interests and considerable untapped potential. Serbia and President Aleksandar Vučić, he noted, have developed strong relations with Kazakhstan and other Central Asian states, while Belgrade has increasingly become a meeting point between Central and Southeast Europe and the wider Eurasian space.“The purpose should not be to create another purely political conference,” Bećirović said. Instead, he envisages an economic and strategic platform bringing together governments, companies, investors, financial institutions and experts.The focus, he said, should be on trade, investment, infrastructure, energy, transport, technology and industrial cooperation. He also highlighted the role of Kazakhstan’s Ambassador to Slovenia, Altay Abibullayev, describing his engagement and outreach in Slovenia as particularly visible and proactive and as a demonstration of Kazakhstan’s commitment to deepening relations with Slovenia and the European Union.Ultimately, Bećirović said, the objective should be to build “new corridors of cooperation rather than new dividing lines.”Central Asia and the Western Balkans may be geographically distant, he noted, but they are not economically or strategically disconnected. Their positions between major European and Eurasian markets create opportunities that have yet to be fully developed. For Bećirović, Kazakhstan’s experience offers a wider lesson for Europe: openness, connectivity and strategic redundancy do not have to compete with one another. They can reinforce one another and become the basis for a more resilient model of international engagement. https://astanatimes.com/2026/09/ifimes-expert-kazakhstans-strategic-redundancy-is-reshaping-its-role-in-eurasia/Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mfa-ljubljana/press/news/details/1284973?lang=ru

3 September Marks Kazakh Tazy Day 03.09.2026
Kazakhstan marks Kazakh Tazy Day for the first time on 3 September. The date commemorates the decision of the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI) to grant provisional recognition to Kazakhstan’s national dog breed on 3 September 2024.Under the decision adopted in Amsterdam, the Kazakh Tazy was assigned international breed standard No. 372, while Kazakhstan was officially recognised as the breed’s country of origin.For centuries, the Kazakh Tazy accompanied the people of the Great Steppe, played an important role in traditional hunting and became an integral part of Kazakhstan’s cultural heritage. Systematic efforts to preserve the breed and promote its international recognition are being implemented in accordance with the instructions of President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.“The Kazakh Tazy has been preserved to the present day thanks to the dedication of hunters, breeders, canine specialists, dog owners and all those who have cared for the breed from generation to generation. International recognition is an important achievement, but our work does not end here. Our primary task is to preserve the breed’s distinctive characteristics, genetic heritage, natural abilities and working qualities and to pass this legacy on to future generations,” said Yerlan Nyssanbayev, Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Kazakhstan.Today, approximately 4,000 Kazakh Tazy dogs are registered in the Unified Stud Book of the Union of Cynologists of Kazakhstan. Work continues throughout the country to collect pedigree information, maintain breeding records and preserve the breed’s distinctive traits and genetic diversity.The Kazakh Tazy is also gaining greater international visibility. In 2025, the breed was officially presented at the World Dog Show in Helsinki. In June 2026, Kazakhstan presented 12 Kazakh Tazy dogs at the World Dog Show in Bologna.Meanwhile, the National Centre for Kazakh Dog Breeds is being constructed in the Jetisu Region. The Centre will focus on breeding and maintaining purebred dogs, registering their pedigrees, managing the Unified Stud Book and training canine specialists.On 20 February 2026, the Government approved the Comprehensive Plan for the Preservation and Reproduction of Kazakh Dog Breeds for 2026-2036.The FCI’s provisional recognition of the Kazakh Tazy represents an important milestone in a long-term process. Further work will be required to demonstrate the stability of the breed across several generations and to preserve its genetic diversity, health, natural abilities and working qualities.Kazakh Tazy Day is therefore not only a celebration of the breed’s international recognition but also a reminder of the shared responsibility to preserve this important element of Kazakhstan’s national heritage for future generations.

The water that has been waiting for years has arrived: villages in the Samara region are connected to the centralized water system 03.09.2026
чResidents of the villages of kulynjon, Kokzhyra and Akkala have been waiting for years for water to flow from the tap in the house, which has become a daily routine for many. Previously, there was no centralized water supply system in these small settlements. The residents came using wells and depth pumps.The project for the reconstruction and development of water supply networks was launched in 2019-2020. However, at the initial stages of its implementation, a number of problems arose due to poor performance of work. As a result, the project was not put into full operation, and the problem of water supply remained unresolved for several years. Residents have repeatedly raised this issue at meetings with the Akim of the region and the district leadership, which often changed during the same period.The situation changed in 2025. At that time, the new leadership of the district took control of the issue of water supply and resumed work on the facilities. Today, the first results are beginning to appear: social facilities and residential buildings are being connected to the centralized system, and residents of individual villages receive water through centralized water supply.The work is carried out within the framework of the instructions of the head of state to provide the population with 100% quality drinking water, as well as the tasks set by the leadership of the East Kazakhstan region.The first results were felt by residents of the village of Kokzhyra. There are about 140 courtyards here, today more than 20 of them have been connected to the new water supply. In addition, first of all, the school and other social facilities were connected to the water supply system.- Current repairs at the facility have been completed in full. At the beginning of summer, a hydraulic test of the pipelines was successfully carried out, and the tank was filled with water. Today, the facility is fully ready for further operation, — explained in the Department of architecture, construction and housing and communal services of the Samara region.According to preliminary data, more than half of the population of Kokzhyra is ready to connect to the centralized system. Now specialists of the district akimat, rural district and municipal services are conducting explanatory work among the population. Connection of houses to the system is carried out on the basis of requests from residents.For residents who have been waiting for a centralized water system for years, these changes are clearly felt in everyday life.- Before that, we used only water from the well. The water quality, of course, was not very good. Now the long-awaited water supply is laid in our house, and immediately life has become much easier. After water was brought into the house, we also installed an automatic washing machine. My wife is happy that the water is now in the kitchen itself. We thank the mayor of the district and all the citizens who heard our problem, paid attention to the village and helped solve it, — says Murat Baibolatov-Kaysar, a resident of the village of Kokzhyra.Work on the implementation of the water supply project continues. Depending on the readiness of the networks, residents of the three villages will be able to connect to the centralized system in stages. In kulynzhon, social facilities have already been connected to the system, and hydraulic testing of water supply networks is being carried out in Akkala.
