This paper focuses on an emerging form of a strategic relationship between Japan and Kazakhstan, a so-called “strategic cooperation” based on energy development cooperation. In contrast to the views taken by some experts studying the specifics of the Japan-Kazakhstan relations, the author argues that Japan has a strategy in its foreign relations with Kazakhstan— the “strategic cooperation”. Over twenty years, the two countries continuously explored and tried to find mutually beneficial entry points in their relations. There were several contributing factors that spurred the inception and growth of the “strategic cooperation”. First, Kazakhstan’s steady economic growth changed its status from a recipient of ODA from Japan to an equal partner. Second, Kazakhstan needed high technologies to change its role of being simply an exporter of raw materials to producer of processed raw materials, while Japan has been exploring new sources of energy to decrease its dependence on Middle East.
