AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

SCO Summit in Bishkek: Kazakhstan President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev is among leaders gathering for the 26th Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit, hosted by Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov, with talks set to cover regional security, trade, transport, digital tech and AI. Terrorism and “double standards”: India’s PM Narendra Modi used the summit to demand dismantling terrorism’s full “ecosystem” and warned against treating it differently across countries. Iran-US deal stance: Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Tehran will “immediately reciprocate” if the US returns to commitments under a recent memorandum. Putin on SCO’s scale: Vladimir Putin called the SCO the world’s largest regional bloc, spanning about half the planet’s population, and stressed trade in national currencies. Kazakhstan policy updates: Kazakhstan is considering scrapping VAT on servicing QR payments and other cashless transfers, and is rolling out paid electronic entry permits (QazETA) for foreign arrivals with phased start dates and set fees. Finance: KazMunayGas issued 3.5 billion yuan in Dim Sum bonds, a potential yuan-financing benchmark for Kazakhstan and Central Asia.
