BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 30. Kazakhstan is
ready to become a reliable and long-term supplier of critical raw
materials to German industry, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev said
at the Kazakhstan-Bavaria Technology Forum in Munich.
"As German industry seeks to strengthen supply security and
diversify sources of essential resources, Kazakhstan is ready to
become a reliable and long-term supplier of copper, titanium,
aluminum, beryllium, tantalum and niobium,” Tokayev said.
According to Tokayev, Kazakhstan’s cooperation with Bavaria
should increasingly focus on advanced technologies, high-tech
manufacturing and joint access to new markets.
The President highlighted the broad presence of major Bavarian
companies in Kazakhstan, including Siemens, Siemens Energy, Knauf
and Horsch.
He also informed representatives of Bavarian businesses about
the measures being taken to improve investment conditions,
including the work of the Investment Headquarters under the
Government and the Astana International Financial Centre
(AIFC).
Tokayev identified advanced manufacturing as one of the key
areas for mutually beneficial cooperation. Kazakhstan is expanding
production capacity in mechanical engineering, metallurgy,
electrical engineering and industrial components, while further
productivity growth will increasingly depend on automation,
robotics and digital production management.
The President noted that companies such as Siemens and KUKA are
global leaders in industrial automation, robotics and advanced
manufacturing technologies, while major Kazakh enterprises,
including Qarmet, can provide stable demand and reliable industrial
partnerships.
“Our ambitions can be expressed in a simple formula: ‘Made in
Kazakhstan using Bavarian technologies and with German quality,“
Tokayev said.
