Business is already working in both directions. Kazakhstan and Moldova are looking to expand cooperation in energy, logistics, investment and trade, building on companies that are already active in both markets, DKNews.kz reports.
These issues were discussed in Chisinau by Almat Aidarbekov, Ambassador of Kazakhstan to Moldova, and Corina Călugăru, State Secretary at Moldova’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Moldovan Foreign Ministry also highlighted trade and economic cooperation, energy and transport as key areas of discussion.
JLC Operates in Kazakhstan, Kazakh Companies in Moldova
The talks included concrete examples of businesses that already connect the two economies.
The Kazakh side highlighted the presence of Moldovan company JLC in Kazakhstan. The company specializes in dairy products and operates in the Kazakh market through production and commercial structures.
Kazakh companies active in Moldova include Rompetrol, Temir Zhol Zhondeu, Akzhol Kurylys, ES Engineering and Dolce Pharm.
This shows that bilateral economic cooperation is not starting from scratch. The next task is to expand business contacts, diversify trade and develop new joint projects.
Energy and Logistics Become Priority Areas
The two sides identified several sectors where cooperation could be strengthened: trade, investment, transport and logistics, energy, as well as cultural and humanitarian ties.
The Moldovan side also stressed the importance of holding another meeting of the Kazakhstan-Moldova Intergovernmental Commission on Trade and Economic Cooperation.
Platforms like this can help turn broader political agreements into concrete sectoral contacts, business projects and cooperation between companies.
Kazakhstan Presents Tokayev’s Water Initiative to Moldova
Another topic of the meeting was President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev’s proposal to establish an International Water Organization under the auspices of the United Nations.
Almat Aidarbekov briefed the Moldovan side on the initiative, which is aimed at strengthening international coordination on global water security and promoting sustainable water resource management.
Kazakhstan is also advancing the proposal within the United Nations.
The Kazakh side noted that the issue is also relevant to Moldova amid climate change and growing water scarcity. In this context, water diplomacy is becoming part of a broader international agenda rather than remaining solely a bilateral issue.
Political Changes in Kazakhstan Also Discussed in Chisinau
Aidarbekov also informed the Moldovan side about the entry into force of Kazakhstan’s new Constitution and the Kurultai election scheduled for August 23.
Corina Călugăru, in turn, confirmed Moldova’s interest in strengthening relations with Kazakhstan and emphasized the importance of regular political contacts and practical cooperation.
The economic part of the meeting was particularly concrete: companies from both countries are already present in each other’s markets, while the next stage could involve broader cooperation in logistics, energy, investment and trade.
Earlier, we reported that Kazakhstan and Moldova were considering joint projects in logistics and agricultural processing. Energy, new investment projects and a broader business dialogue are now being added to that agenda.
