Last update: 26 minutes ago

People’s Council Launch: President Tokayev opened the Kazakhstan Khalyk Kenesi in Astana, calling it a constitutional platform to channel regional interests and citizens’ views, with members tasked to keep reforms moving. Local Elections: Tokayev said early elections to local representative bodies (maslikhats) will be the “final stage” of public administration reform, with the Central Election Commission to set the dates after a decree. Economic Snapshot: Tokayev told citizens Kazakhstan’s GDP grew 29% over seven years to $306bn, with housing, schools, healthcare and roads expanding alongside a push to position the country as a “middle power.” Skills Drive: He warned Kazakhstan will need 2.9 million specialists by 2035 and highlighted dual education, qualification recognition centers and Astana’s Joltap workforce model. Middle Corridor Push: Kazakhstan and China reaffirmed support for the Trans-Caspian Middle Corridor, aiming for safer, faster logistics and coordinated tariffs and standards. Energy & Industry: Uzbekistan plans a 1 GW data center complex in Karakalpakstan powered by renewables; Kazakhstan also discussed grid optimization and major infrastructure investment. Sports: Kazakhstan’s Zhibek Kulambayeva helped set up a Billie Jean King Cup clash, while Kazakhstan’s Rybakina took a two-week break after an Achilles injury.
