Kazakhstan and Tajikistan signed 11 agreements worth a combined $135.3 million during a bilateral business forum in Astana on Nov. 5. The event brought together business representatives from both countries to explore trade, investment and industrial cooperation. Kazakhstan's Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources Alibek Kuantyrov took part.

The forum was held ahead of the official visit of Tajik President Emomali Rahmon to Kazakhstan, who arrived in Astana later that day. Renewable energy was among the key topics, as Tajikistan generates about 98% of its electricity from renewable sources, mainly hydropower.

Kazakhstan's renewables accounted for 8.5% of electricity generation in the first nine months of 2026, above the government's 7% target. The country plans to commission at least 8.4 GW of new renewable capacity by the end of 2035, including about 1.8 GW of solar power.
