The Senate of Kazakhstan's Parliament on Thursday approved the law "On the Ratification of the Agreement on Strategic Partnership in the Production and Transmission of Green Energy between the Republic of Azerbaijan, the Republic of Kazakhstan, and the Republic of Uzbekistan."

According to Report, citing Kazakh media, the agreement paves the way for joint projects in clean hydrogen production and trade, as well as the development of infrastructure to export "green energy" to Europe and other regions.
