The United States is proud to have established an enhanced strategic partnership with Kazakhstan built upon supporting sovereignty, strengthening security, and promoting prosperity in Central Asia. Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s February 2023 visit to Astana, the historic C5+1 presidential summit in New York last September, and Foreign Minister Murat Nurtleu’s March 26 visit to Washington demonstrate Kazakhstan’s importance to the United States as a strategic partner in Central Asia and the wider world.
