India-Kazakhstan strategic and defense cooperation
Overview
India and Kazakhstan have engaged in both military and diplomatic efforts to strengthen their bilateral relationship.
In late September 2026, the two nations commenced the ninth edition of the KAZIND joint military exercises. The drills, involving Indian and Kazakhstani forces, focused on counter-terrorism operations in mountainous and semi-urban environments. Technical training emphasized air mobility, Unmanned Aerial Systems, and counter-UAS capabilities.
Following these exercises, diplomatic discussions between India’s Ambassador to Kazakhstan and Kazakhstan’s Deputy Foreign Minister reaffirmed a commitment to a strategic partnership. The dialogue expanded beyond defense to include cooperation in trade, energy, critical minerals, connectivity, and emerging technologies, building on previous high-level discussions between the leaders of both nations.
