The President reaffirmed that Kazakhstan is open to cooperation with all CIS countries in this field.
Continuing on this topic, he noted that a decision had recently been made to establish a university specializing in artificial intelligence in Kazakhstan. A state program has also been successfully launched, covering over 400,000 students and creating conditions for the formation of research teams and DeepTech startups.
Tokayev expressed Kazakhstan’s readiness to collaborate with CIS countries in training a new generation of specialists capable of competing in the global market.
The President also drew special attention to environmental challenges, stating:
“We propose uniting our efforts by creating a Regional Center for Forecasting Climate and Man-Made Disasters.
