Astana, Kazakhstan, April 19. By agreement
between the presidents of Kazakhstan and Russia, Kazakh President
Kassym-Jomart Tokayev received the Russian Minister of Energy,
Sergei Tsivilev, who delivered a personal message from the
President of Russia, Trend reports.
In the course of the meeting, the prospects for partnership in
the energy sector were discussed, which is one of the key areas of
cooperation between Kazakhstan and Russia.
Kazakhstan is actively developing cooperation with Russia in the
field of nuclear energy. In January 2025, Kazakhstan’s Minister of
Energy, Almassadam Satkaliyev, announced that “Rosatom” is on the
shortlist of potential contractors for the construction of the
country’s first nuclear power plant. However, the final decision on
the supplier will be made in the first half of 2025, taking into
account Kazakhstan’s national interests and international
commitments. Also in April 2024, Russia and Kazakhstan signed an
intergovernmental agreement to construct three coal-fired thermal
power plants (TPPs) in the cities of Kokshetau, Semei, and
Ust-Kamenogorsk.
