Mr. President Costa, you have actively contributed to promoting mutually beneficial cooperation. You are a reliable friend of Kazakhstan and an outstanding statesman of the world level.

Today, we are entering a new stage of strengthening our relations and developing economic ties, - said the President of the European Council. According to the distinguished guest, the European Union and Kazakhstan support a peaceful stance based on the values of multilateralism and international order enshrined in the UN Charter. The Head of the European Council noted that efforts to ensure security, stability and prosperity in the world are reflected in this very principle. Antonio Costa noted that cooperation with the countries of Central Asia has become an important factor in promoting relations in the modern multilateral world. At the same time, he highly appreciated the contribution of President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev to strengthening peace in the Caucasus region. In his opinion, ensuring security in the region provides a new opportunity to develop the Trans-Caspian transport corridor, which will lead to Europe through the Caucasus and the Black Sea. The meeting discussed a wide range of issues of bilateral relations, with emphasis on promising areas such as transport and logistics, digitalization, energy, important minerals, and agriculture.

Last year, bilateral trade turnover reached about $50 billion. And the total volume of investments that have come to our country since 2005 has reached almost $200 billion. Kazakhstan accounts for 80 percent of the European Union's trade with Central Asia. The President noted the contribution to our economy of more than 4,000 European companies operating in the energy, transport, digitalization, and industrial sectors. He also confirmed Kazakhstan's commitment to providing a stable and open investment climate for European businesses. Kassym-Jomart Tokayev paid special attention to humanitarian cooperation and expressed gratitude for the European Union's educational programs, within the framework of which more than 5,000 Kazakhstani students and teachers have had the opportunity to improve their education and undergo internships in European Union countries. The Head of State welcomed the start of preparatory work on visa facilitation and readmission agreements. According to the President, Kazakhstan supports the active dialogue between the European Union and Central Asia in the C5+EU format. This platform has paved the way for promoting common interests in the field of sustainable growth and connectivity. The Head of State noted that the C5+ dialogue has become an effective mechanism for implementing priorities in the development of the region.

Kassym-Jomart Tokayev met with Antonio Costa, who is paying his first official visit to our country, at Akorda. The President of Kazakhstan emphasized the symbolic significance of this visit, which coincides with the 10th anniversary of the signing of the Enhanced Partnership and Cooperation Agreement. Our country is the first country in the region to sign such a historic agreement with the European Union. – We attach special importance to your visit. This demonstrates the readiness of both sides to further expand the multifaceted cooperation between Kazakhstan and the European Union. We support a strong and meaningful partnership based on mutual respect and understanding. Our political dialogue is developing rapidly in many areas that meet our common interests. In this regard, I highly appreciate the results of the EU-Kazakhstan Cooperation Council meeting held in Brussels a few days ago, - said the Head of State.

Ten years after the signing of the Enhanced Partnership and Cooperation Agreement between Kazakhstan and the European Union, our relationship has developed into a broad and dynamic partnership. This partnership encompasses political dialogue, cooperation in the fields of security and economic development, as well as multilateral diplomacy, connectivity and innovation. In an era of geopolitical tensions and global uncertainty, Kazakhstan remains a stable, constructive and promising partner for the EU. At the multilateral level, we cooperate closely to uphold the principles of the UN Charter, promote peaceful solutions, and strengthen an international system based on rules and cooperation, as well as respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of countries. Kazakhstan’s diplomatic activities – from conflict prevention to participation in global forums – are in line with the EU’s priorities of promoting peace, establishing dialogue, reducing tensions and strengthening international partnerships. Thanks to this shared vision, our relationship has become more strategic and our cooperation has become more relevant in the modern geopolitical context, for example in the area of preventing sanctions circumvention. Ending the war and establishing a comprehensive, just and sustainable peace in Ukraine is a shared priority for Kazakhstan and the EU. Another area of our partnership that is seeing tangible results is transport connectivity. The Trans-Caspian International Transport Corridor has gained strategic importance as a reliable and sustainable bridge between Central Asia and Europe. Thanks to more than €10 billion in European and international investments, the Middle Corridor is becoming faster, more efficient and largely digital. Strengthening this route is crucial not only for trade, but also for creating a more resilient Eurasian transport infrastructure architecture that reduces vulnerability and diversifies Europe’s connections with other countries in the region. Economic ties remain a strong and important pillar of our partnership. More than 4,000 European companies operate in Kazakhstan, and cooperation under the Horizon Europe and Erasmus+ programs, as well as expanding people-to-people contacts, are a clear reflection of our investment in long-term modernization. Negotiations on visa facilitation will further strengthen this interaction, contributing to the development of business, innovation and academic ties. Another important and strategic aspect of our partnership is ensuring the supply of critical raw materials, energy resources and technologies that underpin the green and digital transition of Kazakhstan and Europe. Recent supply disruptions have highlighted the risks of over-reliance on a small number of global suppliers. The Kazakhstan-EU partnership has a unique opportunity to address these challenges. It can help accelerate energy diversification, increase investment in renewable energy sources, support technological development, and deliver a significant share of the raw materials that the EU considers crucial. Our Strategic Partnership on Raw Materials, Batteries, and Green Hydrogen, as well as our joint roadmap for 2025-2026, provide a solid foundation for realizing this potential. Our shared future goal is to identify strategic and high-impact projects that will deepen our cooperation in processing and recycling, as well as foster innovation in areas such as geological exploration, battery recycling and clean hydrogen. This is not just about materials, but also about developing sustainable, future-oriented value chains that will contribute to the modernization of Kazakhstan's industrial sector, while strengthening the EU's competitiveness. The Enhanced Partnership and Cooperation Agreement was signed 10 years ago, and now the direction of our cooperation is clearly defined. We are building a partnership that promotes peace, strengthens global cooperation, strengthens sustainable ties, and supports the long-term stability of Kazakhstan and Europe. The next decade should be marked by implementation: strengthening value chains, modernizing infrastructure, deepening technological cooperation, and implementing concrete joint projects. Kazakhstan is a reliable partner on this path. “Together, we can turn common challenges into shared advantages and create a secure, sustainable, and competitive future for both sides.
