A new city will appear in
Kazakhstan. It will be formed from the Zhetigen village, located in the Almaty
region and will be given a new name which is Alatau. The corresponding draft
decree of Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has been submitted for public
discussion until November 29. The country’s government has been instructed to
take the necessary measures. It is noteworthy that the Zhetigen settlement with
a population of about 20,000 people is located fifty kilometers from Almaty
metropolis. There is also an airfield in the village vicinity. Today, the
Almaty region is actively developing. This year,

country’s transit and transport potential, and a special economic zone was
created. By 2048, it is planned to attract nearly 3.7 trillion tenge in
investments and produce goods and services worth more than 17 trillion tenge
