Diplomatic relations have been established between Kazakhstan and India since February 1992, which predetermined the successful multifaceted long-term cooperation and partnership between the two countries. Among the countries of Central Asia, Kazakhstan is the main trading partner and exporter to India. According to official public sources of information (https://kapital.kz), in 2020, Kazakhstan's share in India's mutual trade with Central Asia was 80.7%, in the export of goods to India - 98.9%. In 2021, mutual trade between Kazakhstan and India amounted to $2 billion.
The countries cooperate on the peaceful use of nuclear energy, industry, trade and investment, and transport. The main industries in mutual trade between the two countries are metallurgical, chemical, food, construction, machine building, pharmaceutical, agro-industrial complex and agricultural production (https://kapital.kz, https://www.inform.kz).
Since 2017, India has become a full member of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), the main tasks of which are to strengthen and develop economic cooperation, energy partnership, scientific and cultural interaction between the SCO member countries (Kazakhstan, China, Russia, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Pakistan and the newly acceding countries - Iran and Turkey). India's membership in the SCO also significantly increases the prospects for increasing the growth of mutual investment and trade between the two countries. Currently, more than 500 legal entities and branches with the participation of Indian capital are registered in Kazakhstan.
On the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan, SGA provides legal services and support to potential Indian investors and companies with Indian capital, which already do business in Kazakhstan. We also help Indian companies to establish their subsidiaries, branches and representative offices in Kazakhstan with their subsequent legal support.
On all issues that require the application of Kazakh and Indian law, including cross-border transactions and their execution, recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards and acts of foreign courts in Kazakhstan and / or India, SGA closely cooperates and has partners relations with our colleagues from India - India Law Offices LLP.
