Recently, Kazakh Tokayev announced that he will not run for a second term. This means that Tokayev will end his ** term in 2026. Under his leadership, China-Kazakhstan relations have developed in the direction of stability and friendship, and the two countries have announced the development of a permanent comprehensive strategic partnership. During Tokayev's tenure, China-Kazakhstan cooperation has achieved remarkable results, and bilateral and people-to-people exchanges have been expanding. However, with his departure, many people are worried about whether there will be variables in China-Kazakhstan relations, and who will be the next one?
Currently, the Prime Minister of Kazakhstan is a political figure not very well known in the international arena. Despite this, he was very pragmatic in his policy towards China as prime minister and established a good cooperative relationship with China. His name is Alihan Smailov. In the past few years, Smailov has actively promoted China-Kazakhstan cooperation and achieved positive results in the fields of economy, trade, energy and infrastructure. Despite his lack of political fame, Smailov's political prowess and pragmatism in his China policy are widely praised in Kazakhstan.
As the prime minister of Kazakhstan, Smailov, under the leadership of Tokayev, has carried out extensive and pragmatic cooperation with China. Kazakhstan actively responds to China's "One Belt, One Road" initiative and jointly promotes the in-depth development of bilateral relations with China. Especially in the economic sphere, China is one of Kazakhstan's main partners. The key areas of cooperation between the two countries include energy, transportation, agriculture, science and technology, etc. The two sides have also strengthened people-to-people exchanges and promoted friendship and mutual understanding between the two peoples.
In fact, Smailov not only promoted Sino-Kazakh cooperation during his tenure, but also established extensive cooperation with China as early as when he held key positions in the Statistical Service of Kazakhstan and the Planning Reform Agency. He has an in-depth understanding of China's policies and economic conditions, and has expressed his appreciation and trust in China on many occasions.
Alihan Smailov was born in 1972 and graduated from Alpha Rabi Kazakh National University with a degree in Applied Mathematics. Although he initially chose mathematics as his specialty, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, mathematical talents faced serious difficulties. However, Smailov turned to the financial industry and made his mark in Kazakhstan. He held key positions in the Statistical Service of Kazakhstan and the Planning Reform Agency, and established close cooperation with Tokayev at that time. Under Tokayev's appointment, Smailov recently became the prime minister of Kazakhstan and continues to promote the development of China-Kazakhstan relations.
Although Kazakhstan is about to usher in a new country, under Smailov's leadership, China-Kazakhstan cooperation is expected to continue to move forward. Smailov has a certain understanding of the importance of Sino-Kazakh relations, he is familiar with China's policies and economic conditions, and has been committed to promoting bilateral cooperation. As the largest country in Central Asia, Kazakhstan is of great strategic significance to China's development. The two sides share extensive common interests in the economic, political, and security fields, and it is expected that Sino-Kazakh relations will continue to maintain stable development.
In general, although Kazakhstan is about to usher in a new country, under the leadership of Smailov, China-Kazakhstan relations are expected to continue the momentum of stable and friendly development of the Tokayev era. Kazakhstan will continue to devote itself to cooperation with China and promote the further deepening of bilateral relations in the fields of economy, trade, and people-to-people relations.
