AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Kurultay Countdown: President Tokayev calls Sunday’s first elections to the new unicameral Qurultay a “historic event,” urging citizens—especially youth—to vote as Kazakhstan pushes modernization amid tough global challenges. Election Logistics: The CEC says polling stations are ready nationwide, with 107 opening early abroad and at least 79 overseas sites voting ahead; voting starts 7:00am Aug. 23 (some at 6:00am). International Watch: Kazakhstan hosts election observers from the OTS and TURKPA, while Moldova’s CEC delegation discusses electoral process modernization and cooperation. Foreign Policy Update: Tokayev approved amendments to Kazakhstan’s Foreign Policy Concept to align it with the Kurultay era and remove remaining Nazarbayev-era references. Education & Research Push: Kazakhstan plans to double PhD stipends over the next 3–4 years and expand AI education from schools to universities, including an AI university opening Sept. 1. Energy & Industry: Kazatomprom signed uranium supply deals with Russia and China; meanwhile, the government projects moving from electricity deficit to sustained surplus by 2029.
