In June 2009, Israeli President Shimon Peres visited Kazakhstan, as he had a number of times as foreign minister.[2]
Some Israeli commentators have signaled that Israel's relations with the Central Asian states, including Kazakhstan, are part of the country's involvement in "The New Great Game" for control over the strategic natural resources in Central Asia.[2]
The Kazakhstan Secretary of State met with Moshe Kamkhy, Israel's ambassador to Uzbekistan in August 2004 to discuss social and economic ties between the countries and moving the Israeli Embassy to Astana. 95 Kazakh farmers, managers and scientists have trained in Israel.[3]
