From November 25 to 28, 2025, an official meeting between delegations from the Unified Accumulative Pension Fund of the Republic of Kazakhstan (UAPF) and the State Social Protection Fund under the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Population of the Republic of Azerbaijan (SSPF) was held in Baku as part of an experience exchange program. 

The program included presentations of the two countries' social protection and pension systems, and a discussion of digital services and administration mechanisms. The UAPF presented an overview of Kazakhstan's funded pension system, the demographic situation, the digitalization of pension services, and Kazakhstan's position in international pension ratings. 

The UAPF also provided information on the "National Fund for Children" project, a socially significant project for the country, in which the UAPF acts as the operator for recording target requirements, assets, savings, and implementing targeted savings payments. 

The Azerbaijani side was particularly interested in Kazakhstan's experience in digitalizing pension services, which allows citizens to access virtually all services remotely. UAPF's digital services provided the basis for exchanging experience on modern solutions, automation, and improving service levels for pension fund depositors in the two countries. 

The delegations also visited the SSPF's central branch for social benefits, as well as the Agency for Sustainable and Operational Social Security (DOST) and the DOST Inclusive Development Center, where they learned about Azerbaijan's innovative solutions for providing state social services and supporting various categories of citizens. 

Following the meeting, the parties also signed a Memorandum of Understanding aimed at strengthening cooperation and expanding professional collaboration in the field of pension provision across a wide range of areas, including the exchange of information on changes to pension legislation and ongoing reforms, the sharing of experiences in digital technologies in the pension system, and joint expert research.
