During the meeting, the prospects for expanding cooperation in geological exploration, extraction and processing of critical minerals, as well as sustainable management of natural resources, were discussed.

The Head of State noted JOGMEC's strong interest in implementing projects in Kazakhstan. The parties also considered the possibility of expanding the organization's participation in geological exploration projects in Kazakhstan, including the potential opening of a JOGMEC representative office.

According to the President Tokayev, this would contribute to more effective coordination of joint projects and increased engagement of Japanese industrial and technological companies in the Kazakh market.

JOGMEC is a central Japanese government institute tasked with ensuring stable supplies of energy and mineral resources, including oil, gas, hydrogen, ammonia and rare earth metals.
