Middle East conflict: What will happen to Kazakhstan’s exports?
Tengrinews.kz - Deputy Prime Minister - Minister of National Economy Serik Zhumangarin has commented on how the conflict between Iran and Israel could affect Kazakhstan’s exports in that direction.

“We have a backup option — we can reroute through Georgia or through Chinese ports. Yes, it makes logistics a bit more complicated, but if this has long-term consequences for us, we’ll explore other options and support entrepreneurs,” the deputy prime minister said.
He emphasized that it is too early to speak about specific changes, but the government is ready to respond quickly as the situation evolves.
