BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 7. Kazakhstan and
Saudi Arabia discussed strengthening cooperation within
international and regional organizations.
This was reported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of
Kazakhstan, following a meeting between Deputy Foreign Minister
Arman Isagaliyev and Saudi Arabia’s Deputy Foreign Minister for
International Multilateral Relations Abdurrahman Al-Rassi.
The sides noted the positive dynamics of Kazakhstan–Saudi
relations, based on friendship and mutually beneficial
partnership.
"Particular attention was paid to coordination of positions and
mutual support for initiatives of the two countries at multilateral
platforms," the statement of the Kazakh MFA says.
The officials also reviewed the schedule of upcoming bilateral
events at the high and highest levels, emphasizing the importance
of ensuring that these meetings result in concrete agreements and
practical outcomes. Following the talks, the sides agreed to
continue active and constructive dialogue between the foreign
ministries of Kazakhstan and Saudi Arabia.
Diplomatic relations between Kazakhstan and Saudi
Arabia were established on 30 April 1994, following Saudi Arabia’s
early recognition of Kazakhstan’s independence. Over the subsequent
decades, the partnership has developed steadily based on mutual
trust and shared interests, evolving into a strategic relationship.
High-level contacts and intergovernmental agreements have expanded
energy cooperation (including traditional hydrocarbons and
renewables such as large-scale wind projects), mining and critical
minerals, investment protection, infrastructure, agribusiness and
cultural-humanitarian fields. In early 2026, the two countries
signed agreements on the promotion and mutual protection of
investments and established a bilateral Coordination Council, while
both sides continue to coordinate closely within multilateral
organisations, including the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation,
and to explore further practical projects of mutual benefit.
