Today, Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev held meetings with representatives of Turkish businesses. The Head of State was briefed on YDA Holding’s investment activities in Kazakhstan. The diversified Turkish group is working on three projects involving the construction and operation of multi-specialty hospitals in Turkistan, Astana, and Petropavl. The company also plans to soon begin expanding its multi-specialty production and constructing a sandwich panel manufacturing plant in Astana. Another strategic project by YDA Holding is the establishment of a multimodal transit hub in Aktau. The Head of State also met with the leadership of S Sistem Lojistik, which is building a logistics hub in Aktobe. According to the company, the construction is proceeding on schedule, and the facility is expected to be commissioned next year. President Tokayev emphasized the importance of comprehensive development of logistics infrastructure, which will help reduce transit times and improve export capabilities. The agro-industrial complex is also attracting interest from Turkish businesses. For instance, Tiryaki Holding plans to build a plant for deep processing of wheat and peas in Astana. The Head of State welcomed the initiative of the business representatives. The project will contribute to the development of Kazakhstan’s processing industry, the introduction of modern technologies, and the improvement of local specialists’ qualifications.
