Ahead of the visit to Washington, D.C., an article by President
Kassym-Jomart Tokayev titled Reliability Is the New Power was published
in The National Interest. The Head of State notes that the world is
entering an era where stability has become one of the rarest strategic
resources. Conflicts are multiplying, geopolitical rivalry is sharpening, and
international institutions are increasingly strained by gridlock, polarization,
and declining public trust. Against this backdrop, the Head of State emphasized
that the world can no longer afford to rely on old models of interaction, in
which the international community relied on an endless cycle of negotiations,
declarations, and conferences that produced little more than symbolic
statements. This is why, according to the President, the creation of the Board
of Peace under President Donald Trump’s initiative with all due endorsement
from the United Nations represents a meaningful step forward. It is not merely
another forum designed to convene endless discussions, President Tokayev noted.
It is a practical initiative aimed at delivering results – particularly in Gaza
and the Middle East.
«What makes this initiative fundamentally different is
its logic. The White House has proposed a truly innovative approach: rather
than repeating exhausted political formulas, it has advanced a clear and direct
framework – peace through sustainable economic development. In other words,
peace is treated not as a slogan, but as a project: infrastructure, investment,
jobs, and a future that makes renewed conflict irrational. By its novelty and
ambition, the initiative deserves respect and international attention,» Kassym-Jomart Tokayev noted.
In the article, President Tokayev noted that Kazakhstan and the US have built a multifaceted partnership based on mutual respect and understanding. American companies have long been among Kazakhstan’s largest investors, particularly in the energy sector. Among the recent projects is the development of one of the world’s largest tungsten deposits in partnership with American Cove Capital.
«Over the past years, we have pursued a strategy of
modernization, diversification, and integration into global markets. We have
strengthened the investment climate, improved regulatory frameworks, and
expanded connectivity across the region. As a result, Kazakhstan’s GDP per
capita has reached $15,000 further cementing its position as the largest
economy in Central Asia,» Kassym-Jomart Tokayev added.
