Sufficient national fossil resources and an independent water supply system are indispensable elements of the security structure of any state. Energy independence, as a factor in determining self-sufficiency, is now a basic requirement for countries or regions wishing to develop independently and freely. The purpose of this research is to identify the specifics of the European energy strategy in the Central Asian region by considering the basic areas of cooperation between the parties in this sector of the economy. This research paper has been prepared primarily using the following methods: historical, statistical, prognostic, synthesis, comparison and system analysis methods. The research delves into the intricate dynamics of foreign policy activities of European Union mem bers concerning energy resources, particularly in a historical context. Analyzing the collaboration between Brussels and Central Asian nations, both positive and adverse facets of this alliance in the energy domain have been pinpointed. Special attention is paid to the relationship between the European Union and the Republic of Kazakhstan, emphasizing its role within the broader security framework of the region and the continent. The study offers practical recommendations for enhan cing state energy strategies and fostering productive bilateral and multilateral energy partnerships. The results and conclusions of the presented work can be used as a foundation for the development of practical recommendations to establish and improve the energy strategies of the states, and for planning bilateral and multilateral mutually beneficial cooperation in the energy sector.

Wystarczające krajowe zasoby kopalne i niezależny system zaopatrzenia w wodę są niezbędnymi ele mentami struktury bezpieczeństwa każdego państwa. Niezależność energetyczna, jako czynnik determi nujący samowystarczalność, jest obecnie podstawową okolicznością dla krajów lub regionów pragnących rozwijać się niezależnie i swobodnie. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest identyfikacja specyfiki europejskiej strategii energetycznej w regionie Azji Centralnej poprzez uwzględnienie podstawowych obszarów współ pracy pomiędzy stronami w tym sektorze gospodarki. Niniejsza praca badawcza została przygotowana głównie przy użyciu następujących metod: historycznej, statystycznej, prognostycznej, syntezy, porówna nia i analizy systemowej. Badanie zagłębia się w zawiłą dynamikę działań polityki zagranicznej członków Unii Europejskiej w zakresie surowców energetycznych, szczególnie w kontekście historycznym. Anali zując współpracę między Brukselą a krajami Azji Środkowej, wskazano zarówno pozytywne, jak i nega tywne aspekty tego sojuszu w dziedzinie energii. Szczególną uwagę poświęcono relacjom między Unią a Republiką Kazachstanu, podkreślając ich rolę w szerszych ramach bezpieczeństwa regionu i kontynen tu. Studium oferuje praktyczne zalecenia dotyczące wzmocnienia państwowych strategii energetycznych i wspierania produktywnych dwustronnych i wielostronnych partnerstw energetycznych. Wyniki i wnioski z przedstawionej pracy mogą być wykorzystane jako podstawa do opracowania praktycznych zaleceń do tyczących ustanowienia i ulepszenia strategii energetycznych państw oraz planowania dwustronnej i wie lostronnej wzajemnie korzystnej współpracy w sektorze energetycznym.
