Czech Republic–Kazakhstan relations are bilateral relations between the Czech Republic and Kazakhstan.

History

[edit]

Following World War II, both countries were under Soviet rule with the Czech Republic part of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic as a satellite state and Kazakhstan as one of the constituent republics of the Soviet Union

Modern diplomatic relations between the Kazakhstan and the Czech Republic were established on January 1, 1993.[1] In 2012, Kazakh president Nursultan Nazarbayev met Czech president Václav Klaus during an official visit to the Czech Republic and Austria, and discussed deepening of economic cooperation.[2] In 2014, Nazarbayev met president Miloš Zeman, discussing further economic cooperation of the countries and Czech assistance to diversifying of Kazakhstan's economy.[3]

Trade and economy

[edit]

Economic cooperation between the Czech Republic and Kazakhstan is based on several bilateral agreements between the countries from 1996, 1998 and 2004.[4] The bilateral trade turnover has grown from $200 in 2009 to $1.2 billion in 2014. Due to negative outcomes of the global economic crisis and falling oil prices, it dropped to $666 million in 2015.[5] In 2015, most trade by Czech firms were in the fields of hi-tech engineering, instrumentation, agriculture and film industry.[6]
