Trade turnover between Kazakhstan and China has increased by
12 percent since the beginning of the year, reaching $36.5 billion. This was
announced during a meeting between Kazakh Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov and
Chinese Ambassador to Kazakhstan Zhang Xiao. The parties discussed the outcomes
of joint efforts to enhance bilateral trade, economic, cultural, and
humanitarian cooperation. According to Bektenov, elevating relations to a new
level promotes increased trade turnover, expanded exports, and greater
investment inflows. He emphasized that increasing freight traffic along the
Trans-Caspian Multimodal Corridor would serve as a promising tool for unlocking
the potential of cooperation between the two countries. For his part, the
Ambassador highlighted the growing interest of major Chinese investors in
Kazakhstan, indicating a favourable business climate.
