On May 21, 2025, a bilateral meeting of the heads of the customs authorities of Kazakhstan and China took place in Almaty under the chairmanship of Mr. Zh. Zh. Duisembiyev, Chairman of the State Revenue Committee of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan.        The event served as a continuation of regional dialogue aimed at developing coordinated solutions to enhance cross-border trade and effective customs administration.       During the comprehensive meeting, the parties discussed pressing issues related to the digitalization of customs procedures, harmonization of requirements, information exchange, and the elimination of administrative barriers in order to improve the efficiency of logistics chains and increase throughput capacity. Special attention was given to ensuring stable and predictable clearance of goods through adjacent checkpoints along the Kazakhstan-China border.      In the context of steadily growing trade volumes and transit shipments, a key topic was the synchronization of throughput capacity limits on both sides of the border. The Kazakh side emphasized that the Republic of Kazakhstan’s checkpoints are operating as normal and have the necessary capacity to handle the increasing flow of goods.      In April of this year, during a joint inspection of the “Nur Zholy” (RK) – “Khorgos” (PRC) checkpoints, representatives of the customs services of Kazakhstan and China identified bottlenecks and challenges affecting throughput capacity on the Chinese side.     In this regard, the Chairman of the State Revenue Committee of the Ministry of Finance of Kazakhstan highlighted the importance of developing joint solutions for synchronizing work schedules, improving infrastructure, and further advancing digital platforms for automated data exchange.     During the negotiations, the parties reached key agreements to simplify goods clearance procedures and increase throughput capacity between Kazakhstan and China.    At the conclusion of the meeting, both sides reaffirmed their interest in continuing dialogue in a multilateral format and agreed to step up efforts to implement joint initiatives aimed at simplifying cross-border procedures, accelerating the movement of goods, and strengthening regional cooperation. Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd/press/news/details/1002376?lang=kk

Attackers send phishing links, offer “profitable” part-time jobs for watching videos, send malicious files and create fake chats to extort confidential data.Schoolchildren, students and the elderly are most at risk. That is why it is important to be vigilant and warn your loved ones about the risks.What is important to know?never send money as a “deposit” for part-time jobs, goods or services on the Internet;do not follow suspicious links, even if they came from a "friend" because his account could have been hacked;check the list of devices connected to the messenger, and regularly log out of unnecessary sessions, as well as from your accounts on third-party devices, for example, in an Internet cafe;use two-factor authentication and complex passwords;do not share codes from SMS and passwords with strangers, even if they introduce themselves as employees of a bank or government agency;explain to your relatives, especially the elderly, that representatives of government agencies will not call via messenger asking to transfer money or "confirm identity", and do not give any instructions and do not require them to be followed.If you or your loved ones have nevertheless become a victim of intruders, immediately contact the police.

Brasilia, May 21, 2025 — At the invitation of the National Confederation of Municipalities of Brazil (CNM) and the Brazilian Climate Institute VBH, the Ambassador of Kazakhstan, Bolat Nussupov, participated as an honorary guest in the panel session “The Road to COP30” during the 26th Congress of Municipalities of Brazil “MARCHA-XXVI.” The session featured the participation of Brazil’s Minister of Environment Marina Silva, Minister of Integration and Regional Development Waldez Goes, and CNM President Paulo Ziulkoski.In his address, the Ambassador noted that Kazakhstan is currently implementing numerous projects and government programs aimed at combating the effects of climate change and protecting the environment. In particular, in 2023 Kazakhstan updated its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), incorporating climate change adaptation measures in line with its international commitments under the Paris Agreement.In this context, the Kazakh diplomat referred to the Water Partnership Initiative being implemented by the Government of Kazakhstan in cooperation with the United Nations Program. This initiative is aimed at enhancing climate resilience and water resource management through institutional strengthening and regional cooperation.The Ambassador also informed the participants about the announcement made by the President of Kazakhstan, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, during the 78th United Nations General Assembly regarding the hosting of the UN Regional Climate Summit in Kazakhstan in 2026.

In Taldykorgan, at the base of the Zhetisu Emergency Department’s operational rescue unit, certified trials for canine teams were recently held. These trials are a mandatory assessment to determine the readiness of service dogs and their handlers for real-life emergency situations.The certification process included three stages: obeying commands and overcoming obstacles, searching for victims in forested and bushy areas, and conducting search operations in collapsed or damaged structures. All teams successfully passed the tests and received official authorization to participate in search and rescue missions in both natural and man-made environments.In the civil protection system, service dogs are far more than assistants. Their heightened sense of smell, endurance, and ability to react quickly in high-stress environments make them indispensable in locating people lost in forests, buried under rubble, or trapped after technological disasters. Training a canine team requires months of intensive preparation and strong trust between the dog and its handler.For everyday citizens, this is a reminder of how every element in the emergency response system matters. When every minute counts, it is often these specially trained dogs who are the first to locate victims and help save lives. Behind each successful rescue is a well-coordinated team effort — and the four-legged rescuer plays a vital role in that mission. Press Service of the Zhetysu Region DESSource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/emer-zhetisu/press/news/details/1002037?lang=kk
