Pezeshkian Details Objectives of Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan Visits

According to Khabaronline, an Iranian news agency Speaking on Wednesday, December 10, 2025, before departing for Kazakhstan, Pezeshkian outlined the objectives of his trip, which will include official visits to Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan. The visit to Kazakhstan follows an official invitation from President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.

Pezeshkian described the trips as opportunities to expand economic, cultural, and regional peace relations. “Prior to the visit, expert groups and relevant commissions held productive meetings, resulting in agreements on economic, industrial, tourism, cultural, mining, transportation, trade, and logistics issues,” he said.

He stressed that, as neighboring Muslim countries, there is a shared responsibility to deepen relations, enhance trust, and maintain constructive engagement in all areas. “This trip provides a suitable platform for strengthening bilateral trade and cultural ties,” Pezeshkian added.

During the Turkmenistan visit, where he will attend the Global Peace and Confidence Summit at the invitation of President Serdar Berdimuhamedow, the Iranian president will both present Iran’s positions and hold meetings with leaders of participating countries.

He noted that discussions will address the actions of self-proclaimed advocates of peace and security who, in practice, support the killing of defenseless civilians, including women and children, through bombings, starvation, and other atrocities.

Pezeshkian emphasized that his goal at the summit and during bilateral meetings is to engage sincerely with other world leaders to promote lasting peace and confidence globally.

Regarding Kazakhstan, the president noted that Iranian business delegations will accompany him, aiming to expand bilateral trade and economic exchanges beyond the current level of approximately $400 million.

He highlighted the potential for growth in both bilateral and regional frameworks, including the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, BRICS, Eurasian Economic Union, and ECO, to further enhance cooperation
