22nd Forum of Interregional Cooperation of Russia and Kazakhstan

Путин открывает двадцать второй форум в Омске (более 650 участников); первый форум — 2003 год; личная связь семьи Токаева с Омском 1945 года.

President Putin welcomes more than 650 participants to Omsk for the twenty-second Russia–Kazakhstan interregional forum — governors, akims, vice-premiers, business and experts. He notes the first such regional gathering was held in Omsk in 2003 and recalls that President Tokayev's father was treated in an Omsk military hospital after a front-line wound in winter 1945, giving the host city personal meaning for the Kazakh leader.

Это двадцать второй форум межрегионального сотрудничества России и Казахстана.

This is the twenty-second forum of interregional cooperation of Russia and Kazakhstan.

Первое такое мероприятие представителей регионов нашей страны прошла именно здесь, в Омске, в 2003 году.

The first such event of regional representatives of our countries took place right here, in Omsk, in 2003.

Почти 29 млрд долларов товарооборота в 2025 г.; российские вложения в Казахстан свыше 30 млрд; регионы — драйвер.

Putin reports that coordinated regional and business efforts are lifting trade and investment. Mutual turnover reached almost $29 billion in 2025; Russian capital invested in Kazakhstan surpassed $30 billion. He credits regions with advancing the full partnership agenda after bilateral talks with Tokayev.

В 2025 году взаимный товарооборот достиг почти 29 млрд долларов, а объём российских капиталовложений в казахстанскую экономику преодолел отметку в 30 млрд долларов.

In 2025 mutual trade turnover reached almost $29 billion, and the volume of Russian capital investment in the Kazakh economy surpassed the $30 billion mark.

Беспрецедентно высокий уровень; визиты и декларация о стратегическом партнёрстве и союзничестве, семь основ дружбы.

President Tokayev answers that relations have reached an unprecedentedly high level thanks to heads of state, governments, regions and parliaments. He cites his state visit to Russia in November and Putin's state visit to Kazakhstan in May, the declaration elevating strategic partnership and alliance, and the joint statement on seven foundations of friendship and good-neighbourliness as a decades-long foundation.

Отношения между нашими государствами достигли беспрецедентно высокого уровня.

Relations between our states have reached an unprecedentedly high level.

Декларация о переходе межгосударственных отношений на новый уровень стратегического партнёрства и союзничества … заложили мощный фундамент.

The declaration on elevating interstate relations to a new level of strategic partnership and alliance … laid a powerful foundation.

Глобальные коридоры; уязвимость морских путей; континентальность как преимущество России и Казахстана.

The forum's central theme is partnership in forming global logistics corridors, joint transport infrastructure and transit potential. Speakers stress that traditional sea lanes have become vulnerable instruments of confrontation (Suez, Hormuz, South China Sea). Security and predictability of delivery now rival pure cost efficiency, creating demand for safe continental routes that play to Russia and Kazakhstan's geography.

Традиционные глобальные морские коммуникации стали уязвимыми и рассматриваются в качестве инструментов противостояния.

Traditional global maritime communications have become vulnerable and are treated as instruments of confrontation.

Континентальность России и Казахстана превращается в конкурентное преимущество.

The continental character of Russia and Kazakhstan is turning into a competitive advantage.

Прямые авиарейсы Астана — приграничные города РФ 500+; Россия — первый по туристам в Казахстан.

Tokayev proposes a joint "500 plus" programme for direct flights between Astana and Russian border cities over 500,000 people, plus cross-border tourist routes. Russia already ranks first among tourist arrivals to Kazakhstan; shared language and mentality remove barriers.

Предлагается разработать совместную программу развития воздушной доступности приграничных регионов под условным названием 500 плюс.

It is proposed to develop a joint programme for air accessibility of border regions under the provisional name 500 plus.

Россия занимает сейчас первое место по количеству туристов, которые прибывают в Казахстан.

Russia now ranks first by the number of tourists arriving in Kazakhstan.

Девять стыковых пунктов; первый пробег беспилотных грузовиков; ограничения мелководья Каспия.

Detailed transport results include dozens of bus routes, growing air passengers and cargo, nine interstate rail junctions, and the first run of autonomous freight trucks between the countries during Putin's May visit to Kazakhstan — presented as proof that the partnership is moving to a new technological level. Caspian shipping is noted as promising but constrained by shallowing that requires dredging.

Знаковым событием стал первый пробег беспилотных грузовых автотранспортных средств между нашими странами.

A landmark event was the first run of unmanned freight vehicles between our countries.

Инвестиции в инфраструктуру; пять ж/д коридоров; стыковка с Россией.

Kazakh speakers describe the path from a landlocked country to a key Eurasian hub after roughly $35 billion invested in transport over 15 years and more than $10 billion planned to 2030. Five international rail corridors link China and Asia with Russia, Europe, the Caucasus, Iran and the Gulf; nine rail junctions with Russia; major capacity projects (Dostyk–Moyynty second track, Almaty bypass, southern and central lines).

Казахстан прошёл путь от страны, не имеющей выхода к морю, до одного из ключевых транспортно-логистических узлов Евразии.

Kazakhstan has gone from a country without access to the sea to one of the key transport and logistics hubs of Eurasia.

Вододеление, Красногорский гидроузел, речная логистика, перспектива связки с Севморпутём.

Omsk and Kazakh border regions stress the Irtysh as a shared natural system and transport artery. Support is voiced for a water-allocation treaty approach (with the Ural cited as precedent), the Krasnogorsk water-lifting hydro complex near Omsk, port and dredging work in Pavlodar, and a longer vision of river links toward China and onward to the Northern Sea Route and Trans-Siberian routes.

Ртыш может связать внутренние рейсы Китая с Казахстаном, Сибирью и далее … с выходом на северный морской путь.

The Irtysh can link inland Chinese routes with Kazakhstan, Siberia and further … with an outlet to the Northern Sea Route.

Промышленность, АПК, КПП, образование — Омск, Алтай, Павлодар, ВКО и др.

Governors and akims (East Kazakhstan, Altai Krai, Pavlodar, Omsk and others) report dense industrial cooperation: hundreds of enterprises with Russian capital, metals and energy trade, agro-industry, education and culture. Border checkpoints, rail and road upgrades are framed as practical implementation of presidential instructions to raise turnover and ease movement of people and goods.

Во многом благодаря скоординированным усилиям региональных властей и бизнеса активизируется торговля и растут встречные инвестиционные потоки.

Largely thanks to coordinated efforts of regional authorities and business, trade is intensifying and two-way investment flows are growing.

Нет нерешённых вопросов; пакет документов; укрепление союзничества.

Closing remarks reaffirm strategic partnership and alliance, state that there are no unresolved issues between the countries, thank Omsk for hospitality, and note a package of interregional and commercial documents signed in trade, industry, science-tech and humanitarian fields. Putin and Tokayev frame the exchange as saturated and useful for deeper Eurasian integration and competitiveness.

Между нашими странами нет никаких нерешаемых или нерешённых вопросов.
