At the BRICS summit, President of Kazakhstan Qasym-Jomart Toqaev put forward initiatives on artificial intelligence and water resources, stating his country's readiness to serve as a platform for multilateral cooperation, infohub.kz reports.

The head of state noted that artificial intelligence 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 unlock new opportunities for innovation, investment and sustainable growth, he said.

Qasym-Jomart Toqaev stressed that Kazakhstan views artificial intelligence as a strategic priority and is ready to leverage its advanced computing infrastructure, as well as national and UN digital centers, to expand effective engagement in the BRICS Plus format.

"As a concrete step, I propose launching a BRICS Plus Partnership on Artificial Intelligence to unite national AI centers, provide access to laboratories and research projects, and develop multilingual solutions," the president said.

Kazakhstan's president also emphasized that sustainability requires more than technological progress. He raised the issue of water resources, which is of fundamental importance to all. Globally, water management remains fragmented.

"In this regard, we have proposed creating an International Water Organization as a specialized UN agency to ensure greater coherence in global efforts and stronger intergovernmental coordination. I invite BRICS member states and partners to join the international consultations initiated by our country," the head of state noted.

In closing, Kazakhstan's president said that multipolarity without effective multilateralism will inevitably make the "Great Fragmentation" even more dangerous for humanity. Therefore, Kazakhstan advocates multipolarity based on sovereign equality, a balance of interests and shared responsibility, he said.

Qasym-Jomart Toqaev expressed confidence that the New Delhi summit will help advance this vision through practical cooperation and joint progress.
