One of the other key areas where Kazakhstan has rightly made investments for the Afghan people is the education and higher education sector. In every country, the purpose of higher education is to train professional and skilled workforce for running the states’ affairs. The people who obtain knowledge through higher education become efficient leaders in the future and lead the economic, political and cultural affairs of their countries.
Regarding business and trade, Afghanistan and Kazakhstan have good and progressive relations. Kazakhstan has made efforts to make the relationship further better. For instance, an inter-governmental commission for trade and economic cooperation between Kazakhstan and Afghanistan was seven years ago.
