On September 17, 2026, the Embassy of Kazakhstan in Mexico held a presentation on Kazakhstan’s investment and economic opportunities for representatives of federal and local government authorities, the business community, and non-governmental organizations. The event also attracted interest from staff members of foreign diplomatic missions.

Kazakhstan remains relatively little-known to the Mexican population. Getting to know our country often begins through Kazakhstan’s vibrant cultural and sporting projects. In particular, there is considerable excitement in Mexico surrounding Dimash Qudaibergen’s upcoming concerts in November.

In this regard, Ambassador Almurat Turganbekov expressed his special appreciation to Maribel Martinez Ruiz, Chair of the Friendship Group of the Chamber of Deputies of the Mexican General Congress, for her support in organizing a series of events in connection with the upcoming concert.

The world-renowned professional boxing star Gennady “GGG” Golovkin enjoys great popularity.

The talent of world No. 1 tennis player Elena Rybakina has also won many fans.

As part of the presentation, the Embassy informed the guests that Kazakhstan, as the heir to the civilization of the Great Steppe, has a rich history dating back many centuries.

Our country is pursuing a targeted policy aimed at both improving its domestic political structure and modernizing the economy and investment climate.

In particular, the participants were briefed on the key outcomes of the political reforms introduced following the adoption of the country’s new Constitution.

At the same time, the Embassy presented major national projects aimed at developing transport infrastructure along key international corridors passing through Kazakhstan, further advancing digitalization and the adoption of artificial intelligence across various sectors, as well as the construction of the new smart city of Alatau City.

Moreover, examples of the development of bilateral trade with Mexico and other countries of North and South America in recent years clearly demonstrated that distance is not a significant obstacle. In today’s world, seeking new opportunities is a key condition for maintaining stability and competitiveness, particularly amid disruptions to traditional supply chains.

In this regard, Kazakhstan is one of the countries with which expanding comprehensive ties offers additional opportunities.

Representatives of government and business circles expressed interest in cooperation. Particular attention was drawn to the potential for introducing Kazakhstani e-government technologies in Mexico, as well as expanding bilateral trade. Mexican entrepreneurs see potential in supplying Kazakhstan with locally produced varieties of coffee and avocados.

There are also certain expectations regarding the export of Kazakhstani grain to Latin American countries.

Following the presentation, the participants began developing specific projects in cooperation with Kazakhstan.

On May 19, an international symposium titled “The Golden Horde as a Model of Steppe Civilization: History, Archaeology, Culture, Identity” was held at the Palace of Independence in Astana with the participation of President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.

The Golden Horde occupies a special place in the history of Kazakhstan as a state that became the historical predecessor of the Kazakh Khanate and played a key role in the formation of the Kazakh people. It was during the Golden Horde period that the Turkic-Muslim civilizational space took shape, alongside the development of statehood, trade, culture, and diplomacy.

The President of the country has repeatedly emphasized the importance of preserving historical memory and deeply reexamining national history. The symbols and traditions of the Golden Horde continue to be reflected in the modern statehood of Kazakhstan. In particular, the name of the President’s residence, “Ak Orda,” is historically connected to the headquarters of the rulers of the Ulus of Jochi, while the name of the national currency, the “tenge”, originates from the monetary system of the Golden Horde.

Speaking at the symposium, the Head of State shared interesting historical insights.

“No historian doubts that the Golden Horde was a powerful empire that freely extended across the vast expanses of Eurasia and ruled over the territory of the Great Steppe. This is a recognized historical fact,” the President stated at the international symposium on the history of the Golden Horde.

According to Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, the Golden Horde became a political entity that connected East and West, and its history naturally remains the subject of numerous fundamental studies.

The Head of State noted that, unlike many states of that era, the Golden Horde demonstrated a principle of strategic openness in its development, which was reflected even in the appearance of its cities.

“At the height of its flourishing, the cities of the empire were not confined within fortress walls, but developed as spaces of intensive trade and high human mobility. This experience convincingly refutes the myth of an allegedly eternal conflict between the steppe and the city. On the contrary, it was precisely their interaction that created one of the most flexible models of medieval statehood”.

The President noted that the topic of the Golden Horde has not lost its relevance and holds special significance both for national history and for global historical scholarship. In this regard, Kazakhstan intends to continue the systematic and comprehensive study of this period in cooperation with the international academic community.

“It is important that this symposium has brought together different schools of research specializing in the history of the Golden Horde and the history of the Great Steppe. In this regard, it is only fair to note the role of Russian scholars, who for many years have been productively engaged in studying this vast subject and have succeeded in creating a substantial body of academic work that provides extensive knowledge about the Golden Horde. At the same time, the topic of the Golden Horde has gone beyond the boundaries of any one state and has attracted the attention of researchers from China, Mongolia, the United States, India, Pakistan, Japan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Egypt, and a number of European countries, and one could say that this topic is confidently making its way across the globe”, the President said.

The Head of State also expressed special gratitude to UNESCO for supporting Kazakhstan’s initiative to hold the symposium.

Mexico City, March 11, 2026 –The Ambassador of the Republic of Kazakhstan to Mexico, Almurat Turganbekov, visited the headquarters of the Agency for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons in Latin America and the Caribbean (OPANAL), where he met with the organization’s newly elected Secretary-General, Juan Carlos Ojeda.

The Embassy of the Republic of Kazakhstan in Mexico and the Friendship Group in the Chamber of Deputies of the General Congress of Mexico signed an Action Plan to expand cooperation for 2026.

The document covers a wide range of areas aimed at enhancing interaction, including the development of political and interparliamentary dialogue, economic and cultural diplomacy, cooperation in the fields of technology, innovation, artificial intelligence, sustainable development, and others.

As part of their work with the Parliament of Kazakhstan, interest has been expressed in studying Kazakhstan’s experience in developing and adopting laws in the field of artificial intelligence.

Another important area where the parties can join efforts is the issue of opening an Embassy of Mexico in our country.

Measures have also been outlined for joint presentations to students from various universities in Mexico City on topics related to Kazakhstan.
