This seminar features guest speaker Samal Kanayeva, who will introduce the significance of Kazakhstan in the modern world.

Kazakhstan, the largest country in Central Asia, holds a strategic position at the crossroads of Europe and Asia. With abundant natural resources such as oil, gas, and uranium, it plays a crucial role in global energy markets. At the same time, Kazakhstan pursues a multi-vector foreign policy, maintaining balanced relations with major powers.

This talk will focus on two key aspects: Kazakhstan’s strategic geography and its resource-driven economy, providing insights into its growing importance in global politics.
