Elvira Azimova, Chair of Kazakhstan’s Constitutional Court, said her visit was part of the “follow-up” to the recent EU-Central Asia Summit, which brought together top officials from both regions. “My schedule includes meetings with practically all the key European institutions except the European Commission,” she noted, framing her presence in the EU capital as part of a broader effort to engage in “multilateral cooperation”.
The renewed outreach comes as Kazakhstan attempts to present itself as a modernising state with legal institutions ready to support reforms. The Constitutional Court, reinstated in 2023 after a constitutional referendum, is still in its early stages but has already reviewed around 70 cases for compliance with both national and international law, according to Azimova.
