Kazakhstan Plans to Supply Uranium to France

The Head of State, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, held a high-level meeting with the leadership of the French energy giant "Electricité de France" (EDF). During the negotiations, the parties discussed strategic partnership in the field of nuclear energy and the supply of uranium products.

This development follows statements by French President Emmanuel Macron, who emphasized the necessity of reducing dependence on Russian uranium to ensure Europe's energy security. In light of this, Paris is prioritizing cooperation with Kazakhstan as a key alternative supplier.

As one of the world's leading uranium producers, Kazakhstan possesses significant potential to supply the French energy sector with the necessary raw materials. Key highlights of the meeting include:

• Strategic Partnership: Strengthening ties in nuclear energy infrastructure and technology.

• Energy Security: Collaborating to stabilize the European energy market through reliable supply chains.

• Joint Projects: Commitment to implementing mutually beneficial energy initiatives.

Following the meeting, both parties reached a consensus on strengthening energy security and moving forward with bilateral projects that leverage Kazakhstan’s production capacity to support France’s nuclear power generation.
