Based on the Declaration of Strategic Partnership from 2009, Kazakhstan and India had built a comprehensive dialogue, which experienced considerable dynamism during the last decade. In 2015, the visit of Prime Minister of Narendra Modi to Kazakhstan gave a further impulse to enhancing the existing ties, whilst the planned visit of President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev to India in 2021 is expected to open new horizons of the fully-fledged partnership. Relying on the current developments in India-Kazakhstan interaction, we can define economics, defense, cultural and educational cooperation as key areas of cooperation.
