The fourth Inter-Parliamentary Forum of Central Asian States was held in Dushanbe, focusing on strengthening peace, security and prosperity in the region. The development of digital cooperation was one of the key topics. The Kazakh delegation was led by Chairman of the Kurultai Aibek Dadebay. He outlined the political and socio-economic reforms underway in Kazakhstan, as well as the priorities set out in the President’s state-of-the-nation address. He also proposed launching regional Industry 4.0 projects based on the Kazakhstan Physical AI Data Factory concept. This would enable countries in the region to pool their efforts in collecting industrial data and developing new technological solutions.

Kazakhstan called for regular interparliamentary dialogue on water issues involving experts and representatives of the International Fund for Saving the Aral Sea. The forum concluded with the adoption of the Dushanbe Declaration, outlining future areas of cooperation.
«Today, we are discussing regional, water and environmental security, as well as deeper economic integration. All these matters are undoubtedly crucial to the sustainable development of Central Asia. I am convinced that we must respond to today’s challenges together by joining forces across our parliaments, coordinating legislative efforts and developing common approaches. We believe that parliamentary diplomacy must be results-oriented,» Dadebay said.
