Overview
In late September 2026, it was announced that King Philippe and Queen Mathilde of Belgium would conduct a state visit to Kazakhstan from October 11 to 14. The planned trip included a 110-member delegation of business leaders and academic representatives to visit Astana and Almaty, with a focus on strengthening cooperation in logistics, agriculture, and the Trans-Caspian transport corridor.
