On May 5, 2026, the capital of Kazakhstan welcomed a high-ranking delegation from Vienna. The Federal Minister for European and International Affairs of the Republic of Austria, Beate Meinl-Reisinger, arrived on an official visit.

Accompanied by a representative business delegation, the visit highlights Austrian capital's focus on investing in infrastructure and high technologies.

Key Diplomatic and Legal Milestones

• A visa-free regime was introduced for holders of diplomatic passports.

• Discussions were held regarding the recently ratified agreement on the return of individuals residing illegally.

Special attention was paid to the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route (TITR), also known as the "Middle Corridor." As a major logistics hub in Central Europe, Austria is keen on alternative routes for delivering goods from China and Central Asia.

The involvement of Austrian companies in developing Kazakhstan’s port and railway infrastructure is expected to accelerate the country's integration into global trade chains.
