Abdullah II and Tokayev discuss cooperation and AI security in Astana

Published

Jordan’s King Abdullah II and Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev held talks in Astana on 5 November 2026, according to Kazakh and Jordanian accounts. They discussed bilateral cooperation and the Aqaba Process on artificial intelligence security.

Trade, investment, tourism, technology and defence were among the areas discussed. These are priorities expressed during the talks; the reviewed documents do not establish a new quantified funding commitment.

Tokayev welcomed Central Asia’s hosting of an Aqaba Process meeting dedicated to AI. Abdullah II reaffirmed Jordan’s interest in cooperation against terrorism and extremism.

The talks advance the previously announced visit. They do not establish that conclusions from the specialised AI meeting have already been adopted.
