ABSTRACT

The Eurasian vector of Kazakhstan's foreign policy is relevant for India, as it allows solving a number of geopolitical, geo-economic and geo-cultural challenges. For Kazakhstan, India is of great pragmatic interest. The Eurasian vector can allow Kazakhstan to increase its sovereignty and strengthen its position in the international arena. Eurasian integration is a strategic choice of Kazakhstan, which is developing cooperation within the framework of the most complex and deep integration formats – the Customs Union and Common Economic area of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan. The dynamics of events taking place in South Asia, namely the economic and political potential increase, strengthening regional integration trends, indicates the priority of building stable and mutually beneficial relations between India and Kazakhstan. The Joint Action Plan signed in 2011 started the "road map" which defines bilateral cooperation in various areas. India and Kazakhstan share the same views on the most topical global problems. Both countries develop important investment projects.
