President Tokayev to pay visit to China

On October 17 and 18, Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev will pay an official visit to China and take part in the third Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation. During the trip, the Head of State is expected to hold talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping, Premier of the State Council Li Qiang and Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress Zhao Leji. President Tokayev will also hold a number of meetings with the heads of large Chinese companies. It is worth reminding that the Belt and Road initiative was first announced in Astana in 2013. Its implementation will ensure the creation of a transit transport system connecting China with the countries of the Eurasian continent and Africa, as well as establish trade relations and stimulate economic growth.
