Kazakhstan to Join Abraham Accords

Washington D.C. – The Government of Kazakhstan announced its plan to join the Abraham Accords on Thursday, ahead of a meeting between President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev and U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington. The decision signals a major diplomatic development for both nations.

President Donald Trump described Kazakhstan’s decision as “a major step forward in building bridges across the world.”

Trump added that a formal signing ceremony will take place soon to make Kazakhstan’s accession official. With this move, Kazakhstan joins the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco, Sudan, Israel, and the United States in the framework of the Abraham Accords.

This inclusion marks a significant milestone: Kazakhstan becomes the first Central Asian nation, and the only participant outside the Middle East or North Africa apart from the United States, to join the initiative. The expansion strengthens the Accords’ influence in Central Asia and emphasizes their growing importance beyond the region where they began.

As a Muslim-majority country, Kazakhstan’s participation carries deep symbolic meaning. It reinforces the legitimacy of the Accords within the Islamic world and demonstrates that peaceful cooperation with Israel can align with respect for Islamic values and regional partnership.
