Kazakhstan is making rapid progress in transforming itself into a digital power, according to President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.

In a wide-ranging interview with a local media outlet, Tokayev, who has declared 2026 the year of digitalization and artificial intelligence, expressed satisfaction with the pace of change, emphasizing that Kazakhstan’s rapid development of a cognitive economy is a vital matter of national security.
