Germany and Kazakhstan Forge Stronger Ties in Green Energy and Infrastructure
Germany and Kazakhstan are strengthening their ties, with a focus on agriculture, green energy, and infrastructure. A recent visit by Kazakh First Deputy Prime Minister Roman Sklyar to Berlin has paved the way for enhanced cooperation.
Sklyar's trip to Germany last week saw him meet with German Vice Chancellor and Economy Minister Robert Habeck. The two discussed ways to expand trade and economic cooperation between their nations. This meeting followed the signing of a Joint Declaration of Intent in June, aiming to deepen collaboration in agriculture and agribusiness.
Germany has shown interest in Kazakhstan's potential in green hydrogen production. Svevind Energy is already planning a $50 billion green hydrogen complex in western Kazakhstan. Additionally, Germany is exploring involvement in Kazakhstan's transport infrastructure development.
The Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR) is now working with Kazakhstan's National Geological Service on joint projects. This comes as Kazakhstan has been included in a list of 34 countries eligible for a streamlined process for investment guarantees.
With these developments, Germany and Kazakhstan are set to bolster their relationship, particularly in sectors crucial to both nations' future growth. The green transition, agriculture, and infrastructure are key areas where cooperation is expected to flourish.
