Ten agreements worth $180 million
were signed between Kazakhstan and Türkiye at a business forum in Ankara. They
cover the export of finished products, the construction of a logistics hub, and
several factories. The event was held with the participation of Kazakh Prime
Minister Olzhas Bektenov. During his visit, he met with Turkish President Recep
Tayyip Erdogan, held talks with the country’s Vice President Cevdet Yılmaz, and
also discussed investment cooperation with representatives of major Turkish
holdings and companies. Bektenov noted that the current focus of joint work is
on deep grain processing, carbon chemistry, oil and gas industry, and other
projects that will enable the production of high value-added goods. Addressing
business representatives, Bektenov underscored that the government is ready to
provide support for the implementation of projects important for the country.
“Kazakhstan has immense
investment potential, and we are keen on further expanding mutually beneficial
cooperation with Türkiye. Our goal is to transfer advanced technologies,
localize production, and establish clusters for deep processing to produce
high-quality products with high added value. Investors interested in
collaborating in this direction will be provided with the necessary resources,
infrastructure, and support,” said Bektenov.
“We plan to establish a plant for
the production of modern irrigation systems in Kazakhstan, which will become
the largest in the country and Central Asia. We have signed a corresponding
agreement with the governor’s office of the Kyzylorda region. Our intention is
to bring cutting-edge irrigation technologies to Kazakhstan. It’s not just
about installing equipment; we aim to establish a complete production cycle of
this product in your country,” said Huseyin Akin, CEO of Akplas company.
