The importance and significance of the talks between Donald Trump & the Presidents of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev and Tokayev

The relationship between America and Kazakhstan has improved dramatically during Donald Trump’s presidency. Washington and Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan’s capital, had strong diplomatic and commercial connections. They also had a meeting on a presidential level. In Washington in January 2018 President Trump met with former Kazakhstani leader Nursultan. In the latter half of 2019, he sat with Kassym Jomart Tkayev who is the current president.

It is vital for the security of America’s nation, because it has been able to withdraw from Afghanistan and is an important neighbor of Kazakhstan.

The country’s trade volume in 2018 was $2.1 million. Compare that to the $315 million that commerce between the US and Kazakhstan generated in the same period. Kazakhstan is the United States’s most significant economic partner in Central Asia.

The past has seen Eurasian geopolitics have been centered around Central Asia. Kazakhstan is the most powerful country in Eurasia’s security, economics and counterterrorism. America must have strong relationships with this region, particularly Kazakhstan.

Nazarbayev’s White House trip was a great start to greater US involvement in the strategic region.

Nazarbayev’s support of nuclear nonproliferation is one of the reasons we invited him to our country. Kazakhstan is a country that has renounced its nuclear weapons inherited from the Soviet Union is a leader in nonproliferation. Post-Cold War US concentration on Central Asia was limited to Afghanistan.

Furthermore, the break with Pakistan was essential for Trump’s South Asia strategy. Thus, the US needed Kazakhstan as an alternative to Afghanistan.

Why Biden Should Keep an Eye on Kazakhstan

Kazakhstan is able to play an essential role in the conflict between Ukraine and Russia. Kazakhstan is a crucial strategic country for the United States. Since the country has returned to peace, Kassym Jomart Tokayev the Kazakh president has made substantial changes to the structure of power. This raises doubts and is a concern. Tokayev has been appointed Chairperson of the National Security Council. He succeeds President Nursultan Nagayev, whose financial power outraged protestors.

Three sons-in-law of the president’s son were fired from state-owned firms, his nephew was also dismissed as was Karim Masimov, the former chief of the intelligence department, was detained for treason. Many other Nazarbayev-affiliated top officials and business elite have lost their jobs, left overseas for extended vacations, or were forced to make large “donations” to the state.

Tokayev has developed business relationships with the West and other countries. To maintain his popularity, Tokayev hasn’t caused any trouble for Putin. Kazykhanov could disrupt this balance. Washington should be watching closely the developments in Kazakhstan as they may indicate a number of possibilities for a possible power transition.
