Kazakh ambassador to the United States

The Embassy of Kazakhstan is a diplomatic mission located at 1401 16th Street Northwest in Washington DC, housed in a building that blends classical architecture with modern security systems. Inside, staff manage consular services, visa applications, and diplomatic relations between the two nations.

The mission was established in 1992, shortly after Kazakhstan's independence in 1991, to formalize initial relations between the two countries. This presence marked the beginning of bilateral diplomatic engagement and ongoing cooperation.

The Embassy maintains a cultural center that regularly presents exhibitions of traditional Kazakh art, music performances, and educational programs.

Visitors need to schedule appointments in advance, as the building is only open for official business. It helps to bring valid identification and allow extra time for security screening.

The Embassy building contains a dedicated economic affairs section that facilitates trade partnerships worth billions of dollars annually between both nations.
