Tokayev, the President of Kazakhstan, in his speech, noted the global demand for rare earth metals and also spoke about Kazakhstan’s prospects for joint mining and processing of metals. “One of the priority tasks should be the development of deposits of rare and rare earth metals, which have essentially turned into “new oil”. Countries that are able to realize their potential in this area will determine the vector of technological progress throughout the world”, the President noted. The Ministry of Industry and Construction of the Republic of Kazakhstan has prepared a program for the development of this industry for 2024–2028. It is planned to allocate funds in the amount of 11.8 billion KZT from the state budget for the deposits development, ore mining and metal production, highlighting this industry as the most important in the country’s economy.
