Kazakhstan and Turkey strategic partnership

Overview

Kazakhstan and Turkey have entered a period of intensified bilateral cooperation focusing on strategic, economic, and defense sectors. Initial diplomatic engagements centered on strengthening regional stability and climate cooperation, with Kazakhstan expected to participate in the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Antalya.

Following high level visits, including those by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, trade volume between the two nations reached a record $7.9 billion in 2024, representing a 17.2 percent annual increase. Both countries have established a target to reach $15 billion in bilateral trade through diversification in sectors such as manufacturing, mining, agriculture, food processing, energy, logistics, and digital technologies.

Defense cooperation has also expanded significantly. Plans are underway to establish a production center for Turkey’s ANKA unmanned aerial vehicles in Kazakhstan through a partnership between TUSAŞ and Kazakhstan Engineering. This facility marks the first production center for ANKA located outside of Turkey. Other companies, including ASELSAN and Otokar, are already involved in the local production and testing of defense systems.
