- 0:05Speaker 1: When the war and uncertain conditions put the trade routes
- 0:08Speaker 1: under pressure one by one, the South Bank's activities are
- 0:10Speaker 1: in conflict with the land routes that are also being restricted.
- 0:14Speaker 1: The discussion is not only about exports and imports. The
- 0:17Speaker 1: discussion is how we can keep the country's trade flow alive.
- 0:21Speaker 1: In this situation, the Khazar River becomes an important waterway
- 0:25Speaker 1: for us, which allows trade with the northern countries It
- 0:35Speaker 1: is a country that is an important part of its
- 0:38Speaker 1: exports to oil and raw materials, but in order to
- 0:41Speaker 1: improve its industry, it also needs machinery, equipment and industrial goods.
- 0:57Speaker 1: Now the question is, what is Qazaghistan selling to the world?
- 1:00Speaker 1: What is it buying from Iran? And most importantly, in
- 1:03Speaker 1: a situation where the country's trade routes are threatened and limited,
- 1:07Speaker 1: can the Khazar River change trade with this country to
- 1:10Speaker 1: a chance for Iran's economy? Stay tuned for this part
- 1:15Speaker 1: of the Ravand program. Qazaqstan has nearly 144 billion dollars
- 1:33Speaker 1: of trade in goods annually. But Iran's share of this
- 1:38Speaker 1: market is only about 13%. Now let's get to know
- 1:40Speaker 1: more about the trade of this country and the resources
- 1:43Speaker 1: it can have for Iran. Qazaqstan is one of the
- 1:46Speaker 1: largest central Asian economies. This country in the year 2025
- 1:59Speaker 1: about 306 billion dollars of internal waste production and its
- 2:03Speaker 1: export value has reached about 79 billion dollars. But when
- 2:07Speaker 1: we look at the composition of Qazaqstan's exports, we see
- 2:11Speaker 1: that oil is the only one that consists of more
- 2:14Speaker 1: than half of the country's exports, such as stone and concentrate,
- 2:18Speaker 1: such as coal and radioactive materials, are some of the
- 2:27Speaker 1: most important products of Kazakhstan. In fact, a significant part
- 2:32Speaker 1: of the country's value is dependent on the extraction and
- 2:36Speaker 1: sale of natural resources. The most important export sites of
- 2:39Speaker 1: this country are Italy, China and Russia, which is about
- 2:43Speaker 1: half of the exports of this country. As I said,
- 2:46Speaker 1: Iran has a connection to this country through the Khazar region,
- 2:49Speaker 1: but the country's share is only It is the 13th
- 2:56Speaker 1: percent of the food products. In terms of imports, it
- 2:59Speaker 1: is the same. And Iran has a very small share.
- 3:01Speaker 1: In addition, close to 59 percent of its imports are
- 3:04Speaker 1: imported from Russia and China. That is, there is a
- 3:06Speaker 1: large market. But an important part of its import chain
- 3:09Speaker 1: is in the hands of the traders who have had
- 3:12Speaker 1: an extensive presence in this country before. For Iran, this
- 3:22Speaker 1: market starts from here, from the goods that Kazakhstan produces
- 3:26Speaker 1: to the needs that it needs to continue producing and
- 3:30Speaker 1: improving its industry, and these needs have always been secured
- 3:34Speaker 1: from abroad. According to the State Department of Kazakhstan, the
- 3:39Speaker 1: value of Iranian-Gazagstan trade in 2025 was approximately 430 million dollars,
- 3:46Speaker 1: which has risen more than 26 percent compared to the
- 3:48Speaker 1: previous year. But according to the figures of the Bank
- 3:53Speaker 1: of Iran, the volume of trade between the two countries
- 3:55Speaker 1: in the year 403 was less than $ 350 million, which
- 3:57Speaker 1: in the 10 months of the year 404 has decreased
- 4:00Speaker 1: to $ 262 million. However, our trade balance with this country
- 4:03Speaker 1: is positive. Of course, one thing we can understand from
- 4:11Speaker 1: these data is that with the presence of the proximity
- 4:15Speaker 1: of the two countries' geographies, Iran still has a small
- 4:19Speaker 1: share of the foreign exchange of Kazakhstan. The combination of
- 4:22Speaker 1: the experience also shows that the exchange of the two
- 4:25Speaker 1: countries does not have a lot of differences. From about
- 4:29Speaker 1: 239 million US dollars to Iran, was close to $
- 4:34Speaker 1: 214 million, which is about 90% of the total exports
- 4:37Speaker 1: of this country to Iran. On the other hand, Iran
- 4:39Speaker 1: exports agricultural and food products, chemical materials, plastics and plastics
- 4:44Speaker 1: to Afghanistan. These two large groups make up about 82%
- 4:47Speaker 1: of Afghanistan's imports from Iran. In fact, the trade between
- 4:50Speaker 1: the two countries is stable. However, the main part of
- 5:02Speaker 1: the trade is about a few specific clothing groups, and
- 5:05Speaker 1: the supply of materials and industrial products is very limited.
- 5:11Speaker 1: Especially the industry that is very important for the economy
- 5:15Speaker 1: of Kazakhstan and that is oil and gas. The oil
- 5:18Speaker 1: and gas industry has a high level of interest in
- 5:21Speaker 1: three major fields. These three fields produced about 68 million
- 5:24Speaker 1: tons of oil in 2025. Tangiz is the largest producer
- 5:26Speaker 1: of this group with about 39 million tons. But the
- 5:30Speaker 1: importance of the fields is not limited to the volume
- 5:33Speaker 1: of production. The development and maintenance of such projects requires
- 5:43Speaker 1: a wide range of specifications. This is where we can
- 5:44Speaker 1: go to the possibilities of cooperation with Iran. Qazaqistan for
- 5:47Speaker 1: the development of resources, maintenance of facilities and increasing its availability,
- 5:53Speaker 1: some of the specifications it needs to be removed. To
- 5:56Speaker 1: reach 10 selected groups of goods related to the oil
- 5:59Speaker 1: and gas industry, shows that food imports in these groups
- 6:11Speaker 1: in the year 2025 have reached about 3.7 billion dollars. Lullabies,
- 6:17Speaker 1: industrial products, pumps and compressors, filtration and separation equipment are
- 6:22Speaker 1: some of the important groups of this market. Iran also
- 6:26Speaker 1: has the capacity to produce and supply in some of
- 6:28Speaker 1: these areas. Therefore, in addition to the production of agricultural
- 6:33Speaker 1: and food products, The possibility of expanding the production of
- 6:40Speaker 1: materials and industrial consumables is also an issue. Based on
- 6:44Speaker 1: official reports, these areas are in high demand for the
- 6:48Speaker 1: improvement of trade cooperation between Iran and Kazakhstan. In addition
- 6:52Speaker 1: to this, the most important issue that is currently an
- 6:55Speaker 1: issue for trade is the issue of logistics and logistics,
- 6:59Speaker 1: which is related to trade with Kazakhstan. There are two
- 7:03Speaker 1: main routes in front of Iran. The first route is
- 7:06Speaker 1: the land route through Turkmenistan, which can be used as
- 7:09Speaker 1: a road or railway. The second route is the Khazar River,
- 7:13Speaker 1: a route that connects Iran through the northern border to
- 7:17Speaker 1: the Oktav and Kurik border in Kazakhstan. On the way
- 7:21Speaker 1: to Khazar, Kala moves to one of the provinces of
- 7:24Speaker 1: Iran such as Bandar-e-Anzali or Amirabad and then crosses the
- 7:26Speaker 1: border with a boat from Khazar and reaches one of
- 7:30Speaker 1: the provinces of Kazakhstan. In general, the Khazar route is
- 7:33Speaker 1: probably better than the Turkmenistan route. But we should also
- 7:39Speaker 1: consider issues such as the internal defense budget, sea rent,
- 7:42Speaker 1: land taxes, and the expected time for the ship and
- 7:45Speaker 1: the amount of money taken in Kazakhstan. In the end,
- 7:47Speaker 1: it should be said that when the war has limited
- 7:49Speaker 1: the southern sea routes and the land routes are also
- 7:52Speaker 1: in conflict with the boundaries, it is very important to
- 7:55Speaker 1: find local ways to preserve the trade of Iran. Khazar
- 8:08Speaker 1: Lake is one of these routes that can keep us
- 8:10Speaker 1: connected to markets such as Kazakhstan. A country that is
- 8:14Speaker 1: still not very open to Iranian trade with its financial
- 8:17Speaker 1: and energy resources. Now we have to see if we
- 8:20Speaker 1: can make an opportunity from this route to preserve and
- 8:23Speaker 1: improve the trade of Iran.
