Speaker A

I now give the floor to His Excellency Mukhtar Tileuberdi, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Kazakhstan.

00:45

Speaker A

Mr. President, distinguished delegates, I congratulate His Excellency Philemon Yang on his election as President of the 81st session of the General Assembly and

01:08

Speaker A

assure him that he can count on the full support of Kazakhstan throughout this session.

01:36

Speaker A

Your Excellency, Kazakhstan remains firmly committed to the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and to effective multilateral cooperation. Guided by a pragmatic and

02:04

Speaker A

proactive foreign policy, we are committed to strengthening international peace and security and promoting pragmatic solutions to our global challenges.

02:38

Speaker A

For Kazakhstan, multilateralism is a key tool for building trust, finding common ground, and achieving results for our citizens and future generations. It is a key

03:01

Speaker A

component of our own long-term socio-economic development. Kazakhstan has embarked on deep socio-economic transformations in response to public needs and emerging challenges.

03:27

Speaker A

Our new constitution reaffirms the foundations of national sustainable development through greater focus on human dignity, human capital, education, innovation,

03:48

Speaker A

and environmental responsibility. We also continue to strengthen the rule of law, accountability, and the protection of human rights. The elections last month to the new Parliament reflected a wide range of opinions, and a record 34% of women won seats. I express my

04:14

Speaker A

country's serious concern that the world continues to suffer from uncertainty and division. The erosion of trust between nations is rapidly changing the international order.

04:34

Speaker A

Our collective inability to prevent conflicts, our indifference to humanitarian crises, and our collective reluctance to develop common solutions

04:55

Speaker A

for common problems are becoming the norm. Trust cannot be restored when international law is applied selectively and commitments are not met. Our response must be based on the fundamental values we have reaffirmed together: freedom, equality, justice, and respect for human dignity.

05:27

Speaker A

President Tokayev has repeatedly emphasized the indispensable role of the UN as the only universal platform with the unique ability to unite states to solve the problems we face. But to realize its potential, the UN must be able to act, adapt, and achieve results.

05:51

Speaker A

We fully support the UN 80 initiative. The success of the reform should be measured not by what is cut or reorganized, but by how much more effectively it prevents conflicts, responds faster to crises, and achieves better results for all states. Central

06:16

Speaker A

to this renewal is the reform of the Security Council. Broader representation of Asia, Africa, and Latin America in the Council, as well as a stronger voice for developing countries and middle powers, is a moral imperative. Equitable geographical representation must be applied

06:38

Speaker A

throughout the UN system as a condition for legitimacy and trust. The selection of the next Secretary-General will be one of the defining moments of this session. We support a transparent, inclusive, and merit-based process conducted in full compliance with the

06:57

Speaker A

Charter. The international security environment continues to deteriorate. Global military spending reached a record $2.9 trillion in 2025. Our small planet is home to more than 12,000 nuclear warheads, each capable of causing incalculable damage and grief. Each year we lose more

07:20

Speaker A

biodiversity, but we accumulate more weaponry. For Kazakhstan, nuclear disarmament is not an abstract doctrine; it is a responsibility born from national experience. This year marks 35 years since the closure of the Semipalatinsk nuclear test site, 30 years since the opening for signature,

07:36

Speaker A

and 20 years since the signing of the Treaty on a Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone in Central Asia. Our experience in abandoning the world’s fourth-largest nuclear arsenal has not weakened our state. On the contrary, thanks to international trust, it strengthens sovereignty, enhances security, and

08:00

Speaker A

fosters development. Today, that trust is under threat once again. The New START treaty has expired, and the 2026 review conference has concluded without significant results for the third time in a row. Nuclear powers must never confuse the lack of agreements with a

08:22

Speaker A

lack of obligations. They remain responsible as long as we have not created a world free from nuclear weapons. Kazakhstan advocates for the resumption of high-level dialogue between nuclear powers and is ready to host one of the next meetings. We will

08:46

Speaker A

also continue to promote our previously proposed initiative to strengthen the Biological Weapons Convention by creating an International Agency for Biological Safety. Distinguished delegates, peace and stability are the necessary conditions for sustainable development. We firmly stand for diplomacy and dialogue, and against the

09:06

Speaker A

escalation of tensions and the use of force. We remain deeply concerned about the Ukrainian crisis, which continues to claim lives, undermine global trust, and threaten international security.

09:31

Speaker A

Even the most complex conflicts must ultimately be settled through diplomacy and negotiations. Beyond the tragic loss of life, Kazakhstan strongly condemns repeated drone attacks on Kazakhstan's oil export infrastructure, including on merchant vessels in the Black Sea basin.

09:54

Speaker A

Such incidents jeopardize civilian shipping, disrupt international trade, and threaten the stability of global energy supplies. We call on all parties to observe international law and take all necessary measures to protect critical infrastructure, as well as ensure the safety and continuity of

10:19

Speaker A

civilian trade. Political and diplomatic means remain the only viable path to ending hostilities and achieving a sustainable resolution to the Middle East crisis. The ongoing escalation has serious consequences for regional and international peace and security, as well as for economic

10:44

Speaker A

stability, transport connectivity, and energy security. A just and lasting peace in the Middle East requires the existence of an independent, sovereign, and viable state of Palestine, coexisting side by side with Israel in peace and security. We support the New

11:07

Speaker A

York Declaration as a basis for concrete, time-bound, and irreversible steps toward a two-state solution. My country is ready to support any efforts aimed at ensuring unimpeded humanitarian aid to the civilian population and the reconstruction of Gaza. Kazakhstan calls for the full and

11:29

Speaker A

good-faith implementation of the comprehensive plan to end the conflict in Gaza and UN Security Council Resolution 2735. As a member of the Peacebuilding Commission, President Tokayev has committed to facilitating the stabilization of Gaza by supporting civilian recovery, food security, and

11:51

Speaker A

digital government solutions. The participation of Kazakhstani peacekeepers in UN missions reflects our readiness to take on practical responsibility and contribute to the activities of international stabilization forces operating under the appropriate mandate. Kazakhstan has officially announced its intention to

12:12

Speaker A

join the Abraham Accords. We view them as an additional platform to strengthen the political process under UN auspices to achieve a two-state solution. The long-term stability of Afghanistan remains inseparable from the security and sustainable development of Central Asia. Humanitarian aid remains critical,

12:35

Speaker A

but by itself, it cannot break the vicious cycle of poverty, displacement, and instability. Kazakhstan supports pragmatic, coordinated, and phased international engagement with Afghanistan, with the UN playing a central role. Finally, in recent years, we have observed with growing alarm the

13:01

Speaker A

weakening of the protection of civilians in conflict zones. In response to this, together with Brazil, China, France, Jordan, South Africa, and the ICRC, Kazakhstan is promoting a global initiative to mobilize political commitment to international humanitarian law. Mr. President, the

13:24

Speaker A

growing role of middle powers in global affairs opens up new opportunities for practical

13:43

Speaker A

day, the heads of state, founders of the International Fund for Saving the Aral Sea, proclaimed the International Day of the Aral Sea and the Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers, with the aim of raising global awareness about the

13:59

Speaker A

region's environmental problems and mobilizing broader international support for their preservation. We are grateful for the support of UN Member States and partners for President Tokayev's proposal to declare April 22 as the International Day of Greening the Planet, aimed at intensifying

14:23

Speaker A

global efforts to restore ecosystems. Kazakhstan adheres to a human-centric approach to modern challenges, emphasizing construction, dialogue, and cooperation as a necessary response to the complex global issues of our time.

14:43

Speaker A

This approach is based on a broader shift in social consciousness toward a responsible attitude regarding the environment, civic engagement, and care for the public good. It is reflected in nationwide efforts to improve public spaces, large-scale greening, and the

15:03

Speaker A

promotion of values such as respect for the rule of law, active and responsible patriotism, volunteering, and compassion as essential elements of daily life and civic culture. This brings us to another critical topic of our time. Healthy ecosystems depend on

15:23

Speaker A

water resources. Water security is fundamental to the well-being and resilience of our societies. Water is the cornerstone of public health, food and energy security, climate change resilience, and peace. However, despite its fundamental importance, global water resource management remains

15:45

Speaker A

fragmented. Recent devastating floods in the mountainous regions of Nepal and China remind us of the growing risks associated with water-related and climate-induced disasters. In this context, President Akayev proposed creating an international water organization under the auspices of the

16:06

Speaker A

UN. Its goal is to improve the coherence, accountability, and effectiveness of international water resource management. Kazakhstan calls for an inclusive, member-state-led process to explore options for strengthening the institutional architecture on water issues within the UN. We will continue to promote this

16:35

Speaker A

discussion leading up to the 2026 UN Water Conference in Abu Dhabi. Kazakhstan is ready to cooperate with all member states and partners in advancing this shared agenda.

16:50

Speaker A

Distinguished delegates, artificial intelligence and rapid technological development represent another area where urgent international cooperation is required. In our country, we are investing in computing power, digital infrastructure, and skills in the field of artificial intelligence. We are forming new trusted partnerships in the

17:10

Speaker A

governance of artificial intelligence and emerging technologies. We have recently adopted a law on artificial intelligence and a new digital code.

17:19

Speaker A

However, without effective governance at all levels, artificial intelligence will also exacerbate inequality, create new security risks, and, as we have recently seen, widen the digital divide . We must also ensure that ethical norms do not lag behind such rapid

17:41

Speaker A

development, and it must remain human-centric, safe, and subject to meaningful human control. These risks are particularly serious in the military sphere, where the use of AI in military and cyber operations could have far-reaching consequences for international stability. Kazakhstan

18:04

Speaker A

supports strengthening international norms and cooperation, including through the UN global mechanism on ICT security and the UN global dialogue on artificial intelligence governance. At the regional level, we invite partners to engage with the UN ESCAP Asia-Pacific Centre for Digital

18:24

Speaker A

Solutions in Almaty as a platform for sharing experience and developing regional digital cooperation. Ladies and gentlemen, one thing is clear.

18:38

Speaker A

There is a deficit of trust in the world. Restoring trust will take time, but building trust will not happen on its own. It is the result of strengthening, not weakening, international cooperation. And we must build it. It is a system of

18:56

Speaker A

international cooperation, which we call the multilateral system, multilateralism. in this famous hall where we are now, depends on us, just as we depend on it. Of course, multilateral institutions must deliver tangible results, but it is equally important that we, the member states,

19:18

Speaker A

fulfill our obligations, adhere to global standards, and work together: " Kazakhstan will remain a reliable partner in ensuring peace, security, and sustainable development." We will continue to prioritize cooperation over confrontation and work with all member states to strengthen the UN and turn

19:39

Speaker A

our common commitments into real, meaningful actions. Thank you. I thank the Foreign Minister of Kazakhstan.
