He recalled that Kazakhstan already provides about 13% of the EU’s oil imports, with the bulk of supplies going through the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC), the stable operation of which is supported by the EU.
The energy agenda pays special attention to the development of «green» energy: projects in the field of renewable energy and hydrogen energy are being implemented jointly with European companies — Total, Eni, Svevind. Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan have begun work on creating a highway for the transmission of «green» energy through the Caspian Sea to Europe.
Tokayev also emphasized the country’s role as a key supplier of strategic raw materials — Kazakhstan produces 19 out of 34 types of resources needed by the EU economy, including uranium, lithium, copper and titanium. As part of cooperation with the EBRD, work is underway on geological exploration and modernization of the mining sector. At the same time, the volume of container transportation along the Trans-Caspian route has already increased by 62% in 2024 and reached 4.5 million tons, with plans to reach 10 million tons by 2027.
