Kazakhstan's $4.85 Billion Investment Drive at COP28



At the COP28 climate summit in Dubai, Kazakhstan signed 20 agreements with international partners, totaling $4.85 billion.  These agreements focus on green energy, infrastructure, and digitization, highlighting Kazakhstan's commitment to sustainable development and its goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2060.  


A significant portion of the investment is directed towards renewable energy projects.  Notably, the UAE's Masdar will lead the construction of a 1 GW wind power station in northern Kazakhstan, a project valued at $1.4 billion.  Additionally, France's TotalEnergies plans to develop a 1 GW wind farm in the Zhambyl region, incorporating a 600 MWh battery storage system to ensure a stable power supply.  


Furthering its renewable energy initiatives, Kazakhstan's Samruk-Kazyna Sovereign Wealth Fund has partnered with Saudi Arabia's ACWA Power to develop a 1 GW wind power project in the Zhetysu region, which will include an energy storage system.  These projects collectively aim to add 3 GW of wind energy capacity to Kazakhstan's power grid.  


Beyond energy, Kazakhstan is enhancing its infrastructure and digital capabilities.  Kazakhstan Temir Zholy, the national railway company, and Abu Dhabi Ports Group have agreed to collaborate on maritime transportation, port development, railway logistics, digitization, and trade.  This partnership aims to transform the ports of Aktau and Kuryk into leading maritime hubs on the Caspian Sea.  


In the realm of digitization, Samruk-Kazyna and Presight.AI plan to establish a joint venture to implement big data analytics solutions across various sectors, including energy, public services, and transport.  They also intend to explore the development of high-performance computing capacity and enterprise AI solutions in Kazakhstan.  


These comprehensive agreements underscore Kazakhstan's strategic approach to sustainable development, combining renewable energy expansion with infrastructure modernization and digital transformation.  By fostering international collaborations, Kazakhstan is positioning itself as a proactive player in addressing global climate challenges and advancing its economic growth.

Exposing the Brotherhood: Why Jordan’s Terror Cell Bust Must Spark a Global Policy Shift

 The recent dismantling of a Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated terror cell in Jordan should not be seen as just a national security success—it must be a turning point in how the international community views and responds to the threat posed by the Brotherhood. Jordanian security forces uncovered an elaborate network of terrorists trained in Lebanon and backed by foreign interests. Their mission: to launch attacks using rockets and drones, destabilizing the Kingdom and spreading fear among civilians. This is not the work of activists or political dissidents—this is terrorism, plain and simple. For too long, the Muslim Brotherhood has operated under a false image of moderation, cleverly navigating between political activism and violent extremism. But the truth is clear: the Brotherhood is the ideological engine room of jihadist terrorism. Its members, affiliates, and offshoots have inspired and directed acts of violence from North Africa to the Gulf—and now, once again, in Jordan. Govern...
