Kazakhstan to Join Abraham Accords
Washington D.C. – The Government of Kazakhstan has announced its intention to join the Abraham Accords ahead of a planned meeting between President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev and U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington.
President Trump described Kazakhstan’s move as “a major step forward in building bridges across the world.”
He confirmed that a formal signing ceremony will soon be held to make the country's accession official. With this step, Kazakhstan will join the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco, Sudan, Israel, and the United States as part of the Abraham Accords framework.
This inclusion marks a major diplomatic achievement, making Kazakhstan the first Central Asian state — and the only member outside the Middle East and North Africa apart from the United States — to join the initiative.
The expansion of the Accords into Central Asia underscores their growing importance beyond their initial geographic and political context. For Kazakhstan, a Muslim-majority nation, this decision signals a strong commitment to peaceful normalization with Israel and cooperation built on shared respect and regional stability.
