October 20–21, Kazakhstan’s investment strategy and economic priorities were presented at the international Future Resilience Forum 2025 in London during a panel session titled “Kazakhstan – Diplomacy & Trade: Middle Power Countries".
The Kazakh delegation was led by Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Alibek Kuantyrov, and included Vice Minister of Energy Sanzhar Zharkeshov, Chairman of the National Geological Service Yerlan Galiyev, Chairman of the Astana International Financial Centre Authority Bakhtiyar Tleubekov, Chairman of the Kazakhstan Infrastructure Development Fund (KIDF) Zhussup Yeralin, and Deputy Chairman of the Board of “Kazakh Invest” National Company Madiyar Sultanbek.
The program also featured meetings with representatives of the UK government, investors, and international financial institutions to strengthen partnerships and promote Kazakhstan’s investment potential.
Opening the session, Alibek Kuantyrov emphasized Kazakhstan’s commitment to building an open and resilient economy.
“Kazakhstan is developing an economy founded on resilience, openness and trust. More than USD 474 billion in foreign direct investment stands as proof of the confidence the global business community has in Kazakhstan. Our country is ready to be your partner in building a sustainable, inclusive and interconnected future. We firmly believe that true resilience is achieved through cooperation, and that the future belongs to those who unite rather than divide,” said Kuantyrov.
Sanzhar Zharkeshov presented Kazakhstan’s strategy for ensuring energy security and a gradual transition toward green energy, noting the balance between traditional and renewable sources.
The discussion covered investment opportunities in critical minerals, energy, agriculture, transport, finance, and healthcare. Kazakhstan was highlighted as a key link in the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route and a reliable partner in ensuring Eurasia’s food and energy security.
The example of AstraZeneca, which launched production in Kazakhstan in 2025, drew particular attention as a demonstration of the country’s appeal to global investors.
Founded in 2023, the Future Resilience Forum serves as a platform for dialogue among governments, businesses, and experts. The 2025 edition, held under the theme “New World Order, New World Thinking,” focused on the role of middle powers in strengthening international cooperation and promoting sustainable growth.
