Kazakhstan and Japan Sign 14 Documents
Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has concluded an official visit to Tokyo, marking a significant step in relations between Kazakhstan and Japan. During the trip, both nations signed 14 cooperation agreements and announced plans for over $3.7 billion in new investments and joint projects.
The visit took place in December 2025, with President Tokayev meeting Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaiichi and representatives of major Japanese businesses. Together, they signed a joint statement and 14 intergovernmental and interagency agreements.
Both governments agreed to expand economic ties, focusing on energy—including hydrogen and decarbonisation—mining, infrastructure, and digital technology. Trade facilitation will be accelerated, while support for Japanese companies entering Kazakhstan will strengthen. Additional plans include deeper cooperation on green energy transition and decarbonisation projects. The two sides also committed to enhancing people-to-people exchanges and institutional links to encourage private-sector partnerships. In total, over 40 documents are expected to be signed during Tokayev’s visit. The president described Japan as a 'time-tested and reliable partner in Asia,' while Prime Minister Takaiichi expressed confidence that the visit would further boost bilateral cooperation.
The agreements cover investments worth $3.7 billion across multiple sectors. Both countries aim to strengthen economic and technological collaboration, with a particular focus on sustainable energy and infrastructure. The visit reinforces long-standing ties between Kazakhstan and Japan.
