As part of French President Emmanuel Macron's official visit to Kazakhstan, a delegation representing 80 leading French companies visited Astana to participate in a bilateral business forum. Around 200 representatives from Kazakhstan’s business circles also took part in the event aimed at establishing relations. The agenda focused on promising projects in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, energy, mechanical engineering, logistics and transport.
