Kazakhstan and Indonesia are set
to jointly implement 15 projects in urban planning, transportation, green
energy, education, and culture under a memorandum of understanding signed
between the authorities of the capitals of the two countries, Astana and
Nusantara. Notably, the sister cities are already working on several projects,
including the installation of surveillance cameras by local specialists in
Indonesia’s new capital. Overall, the agreement aims to facilitate the exchange
of experiences and foster friendly relations between the cities.
Representatives of the parties announced this at an event in Astana dedicated
to the anniversary of the sister city relationship between the two capitals.
«Our plan for the future: we have
to implement all of the collaboration that we have signed in the memorandum of
understanding. So, we have to learn— Indonesia has to learn from Astana as the
newest capital city in the world, and Indonesia, with Nusantara becoming the
newest capital city after Astana. So, we have to learn many things from
Kazakhstan,» said Mochamad Fadjroel Rachman, Indonesian Ambassador to
Kazakhstan.
«Additionally, there are plans
for student exchanges in the field of education. We are also interested in
Nusantara, as it is being built right in the middle of the jungle. It would be
interesting to exchange experiences and implement joint projects in
landscaping, greening, urban planning, and possibly utilities management,» said
Zhanara Nugumanova, Head of the International Cooperation Department at the Astana
Mayor’s Office.
