Akhmetov was in contact with Rustam Minnikhanov who is the Minister in charge of the Russian Republic of Tatarstan, in Astana on October 13th, 2006. They discussed the possibility of forming an alliance that would create helicopters Kazakh state investment into Petrochemical companies in Tatarstan and the construction of an expressway to western China which would bring St. Petersburg to Moscow, Kazan, Orenburg, Qizilorda, Shymkent, and Korgas in Xinjiang, China. Akhmetov said the highway was “the shortest road link between Europe and China.” Iskender Muflikhanov who is an aide to the Prime Minister Minnikhanov told the Tatar government was holding “great hopes with regard to the shipping, or the assembling [in Kazakhstan] of KamAZ trucks. Work in under way on this West-South highway project in Kazakhstan and, as a rule, our KamAZ trucks are irreplaceable for projects of that magnitude.”

President Nazarbayev nominated Karim Massimov, who at the time served as Deputy Prime Minister, to succeed Daniyal Akhmetov as Prime Minister on 9 January 2007.

The Parliament confirmed the nomination on 10 January. Massimov appointed Akhmetov as Defense Minister, replacing Mukhtar Altynbayev, and appointed Aslan Musin, formerly the Minister of Economy and Budget, as Deputy Prime Minister.

Akhmetov was instrumental in changing Kazakhstan’s petroleum laws, despite the strong opposition from foreign firms. On May 4, 2004, Akhmetov was contacted by an official letter from 47 international oil companies which included ChevronTexaco, ExxonMobil, Shell and the BG Group and ENI complaining about the changes proposed could adversely affect investment in the future. They specifically had issues with the requirements for local content, they claimed to be “unnecessarily burdensome” and that the condition for KMG to hold at the least 50% stake in every project “may not be advisable in all circumstances.”
