Yerzhan Yelekeyev, Chairman of the Board of JSC "NC KAZAKH INVEST," participated in the Fourth Tashkent International Investment Forum. During the event, he spoke at two sessions focused on coordinating investment promotion agencies of Turkic-speaking countries, as well as on a proactive strategy for working with investors in Central Asia.

At the platform that brought together representatives of key investment agencies from the Turkic-speaking world, a cooperation protocol was signed aimed at uniting efforts to promote the region as a single investment space. The Kazakh side expressed its readiness to share experience, support joint initiatives, and develop unified approaches to attracting investments.

During the second session, participants discussed new methods of targeting investors and digital tools in investment marketing. Kazakhstan presented its solutions for systematic project development, proactive and targeted investor search, and institutional support throughout the entire investment facilitation chain.

Speaking on the sidelines of the forum, Yerzhan Yelekeyev noted that sustainable development is only possible through close cooperation among the countries of the region. He emphasized that Kazakhstan is ready to share its experience and act as an initiator of joint projects that strengthen the overall investment potential of Central Asia.

“We are convinced that sustainable development is only achievable through close interaction among all countries in the region. We should not see each other as competitors for capital; on the contrary, we can and must complement each other, creating synergy in key industries. We have common advantages — strategic location, demographic potential, resources, and most importantly, the political will to cooperate. Kazakhstan is ready to share its expertise, technologies, and investment facilitation tools. Even more importantly, we aim to develop joint manufacturing, logistics solutions, and projects in green energy and digitalization that will strengthen Central Asia’s position on the global map,” said the Head of the national company.

Panel session participants confirmed their mutual readiness to share experience and tools for working with investors, exchange best practices, and actively collaborate to enhance the region’s investment attractiveness. Representatives of leading investment agencies from Central Asia, Turkey, Azerbaijan, as well as international institutions and financial organizations, spoke at the sessions, emphasizing the importance of strengthening regional cooperation.

“Taking this opportunity, I want to thank the Uzbek side for the high level of organization of the forum and their hospitality. Such initiatives not only strengthen trust between our states but also form a unified regional agenda focused on the growth and prosperity of all Turkic-speaking countries,” concluded Yerzhan Yelekeyev.

The Fourth Tashkent International Investment Forum gathered delegations from over 70 countries, representatives of international financial institutions, investment agencies, and major corporations. The event confirmed the high interest of the global investment community in Central Asian countries and their potential.
