President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev proposed to unite the national artificial intelligence centers of the BRICS plus countries and expand access to laboratories and scientific projects, Kazinform reports with reference to Akorda. The head of state further focused on the role of artificial intelligence, which is already transforming economies, societies and the global balance of power. “By combining the technological capabilities of leading emerging economies with their scale, BRICS can open up new opportunities for innovation, investment and sustainable growth. Kazakhstan views artificial intelligence as a strategic priority and is ready to use its developed computing infrastructure, as well as national and UN digital centers to expand effective interaction in the BRICS plus format. As a concrete step, I propose to launch the BRICS Plus Partnership in the field of artificial intelligence to unite national AI centers, provide access to laboratories and scientific projects, as well as develop multilingual solutions,” the President emphasized. – By combining the technological capabilities of leading emerging economies with their scale, BRICS is able to open up new opportunities for

Kassym-Jomart Tokayev also focused on the fact that sustainability requires not only technological progress. – I would like to touch upon the issue of water resources, which is of fundamental importance for all of us. Globally, water management remains fragmented. In this regard, we proposed the creation of the International Water Organization as a specialized UN agency to ensure greater coherence of global efforts and strengthen interstate coordination. I invite BRICS member states and partners to join the international consultations initiated at
our country,” noted the Head of State. – I would like to touch upon the issue of water resources, which is of fundamental importance for all of us. Globally, water management remains fragmented.

At the end of his speech, the President of Kazakhstan stated that multipolarity without effective multilateralism will inevitably make the “Great Fragmentation” even more dangerous for humanity. In his opinion, this is why Kazakhstan stands for multipolarity based on sovereign equality, balance of interests and shared responsibility. Kassym-Jomart Tokayev expressed confidence that the New Delhi Summit will help advance this vision through practical cooperation and joint progress. The head of state also said that Kazakhstan’s trade turnover with BRICS members and partners in 2025
reached about $72 billion.
