During the meeting, the parties discussed opportunities for expert support in promoting mutual investments and joint business projects between Kazakhstan and Thailand. They also addressed issues that had been discussed during the talks between President Tokayev and Thailand’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sihasak Phuangketkeow.
Emphasizing Thailand’s interest in Kazakhstan as a strategically important partner, Issara Sereewatthanawut highlighted the importance of exchanging practical experience in the areas of decentralization and water resource management. The Thai side also expressed particular interest in KazISS’s engagement with the country’s regions.
Assel Nazarbetova, Head of the Almaty Representative Office of KazISS, noted that the establishment of regional representative offices has enabled the Institute to obtain reliable first-hand data and monitor the dynamics of the country’s socio-economic development at the regional level, thereby improving the quality of the Institute’s analytical work.
Following the meeting, the parties agreed to strengthen cooperation between the scientific and analytical communities of the two countries, including through the organization of joint events and comparative research projects.
