Relations between the two countries in the field of cross-border cooperation are an important part of interstate policy.

Both states have the necessary political will, which allows them to fully develop promising areas of cooperation: industrial cooperation, joint use of natural resources, development and implementation of innovative and scientific and educational projects, as well as ensuring the security of border territories.
The main purpose of the study is to identify ways to improve Russian-Kazakh cross-border cooperation based on the analysis of its state, development trends and key problems that negatively affect the interaction of neighboring regions.
