Abstract:
The article examines the historical and legal framework for the process of Kazakhstan’s
accession to the World Trade Organization. Participation in this authoritative organization opens
up great opportunities for economic growth for countries, but at the same time imposes certain
obligations. After many years of multilateral negotiations, Kazakhstan managed to become a full
member. The article describes the prerequisites for accession of the Republic of Kazakhstan to the
WTO, the legal issues occurred with the introduction of negotiations, and demonstrated progress
in the process of harmonization of national legislation with the conditions set by the Republic
of Kazakhstan. The author decided not to consider each direction of the economy separately, but
rather to pay more attention to the main documents that played a key role in the successful
accession of Kazakhstan to the WTO.
