Guest commentary: We offer Germany a raw materials partnership
Kazakhstan promotes 21 of the 34 raw materials that are strategically important for Europe. Kazakh President Kassym-Schomart Tokayev suggests joint value-added and production chains to Berlin.
Germany and Kazakhstan have built a strong partnership over three decades rooted in trust and reliability, crucial assets in today's political and economic climate. This strategic relationship thrives on political dialogue, implementation of agreed-upon measures, and tangible results. For Kazakhstan, Germany is more than a commercial partner and investor; shared economic interests and a commitment to international law bind them together.
Their cooperation transcends bilateral agreements, connecting Asia and Europe, enhancing economic resilience, energy security, and transportation routes in the Eurasian region. Additionally, the deep human connections between the ethnic Germans in Kazakhstan and the Kasakhstani émigrés in Germany further strengthen the bond between these two nations.
Guided by common history and cultural traditions, the two peoples find common ground, allowing them to look forward with confidence to the future. During his visit to Germany, the speaker views it as an opportunity to launch a new chapter in their strategic partnership, unlock new growth areas, and inject new dynamism into their collaboration.
