What happened
Kazakhstan is actively promoting its potential as a major transit hub between Asia and Europe. President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev stated at the BRICS summit that Kazakhstan’s trade turnover with BRICS member states and partners reached approximately $72 billion in 2025. Furthermore, Tokayev offered Europe that Kazakhstan could serve as a non-Chinese option for critical minerals, provided long-term purchase commitments were secured.
