The latest meeting between Putin and Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev took place in Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan, on October 14, 2025, where they discussed energy and infrastructure projects.
The two leaders have met several times in recent years, including in Dushanbe, to strengthen their economic ties. Their cooperation has resulted in 114 projects worth nearly $22 billion.
