TEHRAN (Iran News) – On Monday, upon an initiative of the Embassy of the Republic of Kazakhstan in Tehran the Institute of World Economics and Politics of the Republic of Kazakhstan under the Nursultan Nazarbayev’s Foundation (IWEP) and the Institute of Political and International Studies (IPIS) under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran together with Kazakh and Iranian Embassies in Tehran and Nur-Sultan held a webinar on development of Kazakh-Iranian relations in 30 years of Kazakhstan’s independence.
During the webinar the participants highlighted Kazakhstan’s most important achievements and discussed the progress in bilateral relations over the last three decades.
It was noted that Kazakhstan has never left Iran in the years of hardship; provision of Almaty’s platform for Iranian Nuclear Talks in 2013 was highly appreciated.
The absence of political discord at the highest level between Iran and Kazakhstan since the establishment of diplomatic relations was underlined as the fundamental factor in the development of Kazakh-Iranian relations despite the existing challenges.
The participants of the webinar emphasized the important role of both states in ensuring regional security, especially in the Caspian region.
Taking into account that the process of Iran’s acceding to the SCO has been officially kicked off, the speakers called on to develop a new format for the development of the bilateral cooperation between Kazakhstan and Iran in light of new challenges in the upcoming new decade of Kazakhstan’s independence.
