Chinese multifunctional center to open in Astana

A multifunctional center will open in Astana. Kazakh Minister of Trade and Integration Arman Shakkaliyev and the Vice President of the Chinese company Jiangsu SOHO Holdings Group Ding Hai discussed the center’s creation. Notably, the idea of opening the center is based on the experience of the unique trade platform «Central Asia – Jiangsu» in Nanjing, where companies from the region, including Kazakhstan, are located and actively cooperate. The new multifunctional center will also include a trade pavilion, a cultural center, and the company’s office. Kazakhstan will provide comprehensive support at all stages of the project’s implementation.

«The project will serve as an important platform for the development of international trade and business, offering a wide range of services, including the showcasing of Chinese and Kazakh goods, conducting business negotiations and contract signing with international partners, trade transaction processing services, consulting services, and more,» noted Aliya Abdrakhmanova, Spokesperson for the Kazakh Ministry of Trade and Integration.

Notably, from January to November 2024, the volume of mutual trade between Kazakhstan and China exceeded $27 billion. The country’s exports to China increased, reaching $13.5 billion.
