Ammon News - Kazakh international news agency (Kazinform) reported that the official visit of His Majesty King Abdullah II will mark an important stage in the development of bilateral relations as the King and President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev will focus on strengthen comprehensive partnership, expand political dialogue, and give practical substance to the agreements reached during the President’s visit to Amman in February 2025.

The agenda will focus on trade and economic cooperation, investment, energy, agriculture and food security, pharmaceuticals, IT and digitalization, transport logistics, tourism, as well as humanitarian and educational issues, according to Kazinform.

The parties will also discuss international and regional security, including the Middle East settlement, and the coordination of efforts within international organizations.

A key event of the visit will be the Kazakhstan–Jordan business forum, expected to bring together around 300 entrepreneurs and investors in Astana. The heads of state are anticipated to participate.

Kazinform also stated that President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev’s trip to Jordan in February 2025 laid the groundwork for the current visit.

At that time, the parties agreed to expand economic cooperation, create new conditions for trade and investment, and launch a number of joint projects.

The Embassy of Jordan in Kazakhstan emphasized that the February agreements set a dynamic that has now evolved into concrete initiatives.

“Leaders’ visits have demonstrated the readiness of both countries to deepen cooperation and create favorable conditions for joint projects,” the Embassy’s statement reads.

*Direct air link

The issue of direct flights between Kazakhstan and Jordan remains a priority. According to Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the legal framework for this step is fully in place.

Direct flights on the Amman–Astana route are scheduled to launch in June 2026 with a frequency of twice a week. The Jordanian side confirmed its readiness to subsidize the flights in the initial stages, ensuring stability and attractiveness of the route for passengers.

“The opening of air travel will create new conditions for the development of tourism, business, and humanitarian ties between the two countries,” the Jordanian diplomatic mission emphasized.

*What to expect from the visit?

King Abdullah II’s visit to Kazakhstan is expected to become a new stage in the development of relations between the two countries. Since February 2025, cooperation has been filled with concrete projects in energy, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and digitalization. The agenda now includes the launch of direct air travel and strengthened partnership in the peaceful use of nuclear energy.

Thus, the meeting in Astana will confirm the comprehensive nature of relations between Kazakhstan and Jordan and open new prospects for bilateral cooperation.
