Kazakh President Tokayev says Kazakhstan and Russia will sign a Declaration in Moscow elevating ties to a comprehensive strategic partnership and alliance during his Nov 11–12 state visit.

This is an important connection. The end of fighting between Azerbaijan and Armenia opens opportunities of trade and pipeline from Kazakhstan to Turkey. Talks and plans are progressing to build a natural gas pipeline via the TRIPP corridor negotiated by the US in 2025.
Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Defense says Air Defense Forces, military police, Special Operations Forces, military equipment, and aviation supported security for Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s state visit. Kazakhstan says three Su-30SM fighters escorted the Turkish presidential aircraft in Kazakh airspace.
