Last week, Xinjiang Hengyuan Investment Management Co., Ltd., based in the Chinese city of Baiyang, and Kazakh Invest signed a memorandum to implement the construction of a trade and industrial park, spanning 50 hectares, in Astana.
As reported by Kazakh Invest, the project is expected to positively impact the development of critical sectors of Kazakhstan’s economy, including logistics, warehousing, processing, trade, and real estate management. The project will also attract Chinese trade and manufacturing companies to operate in Kazakhstan.
Yan Wang, Deputy Mayor of Baiyang, commented: “We are entering this project with great enthusiasm, seeing the enormous potential of Kazakhstan as a key logistics hub in the region. Creating the Kazakhstan-China Trade and Industrial Park in Astana will significantly expand the country’s logistics capabilities and strengthen its role as an important transit corridor between East and West. We believe this project will catalyze attracting new trade flows and manufacturing.”
Yerzhan Yelekeyev, Chairman of the Board of Kazakh Invest, added: “This project opens up new horizons for cooperation between Kazakhstan and China. The creation of the Kazakhstan-China Trade and Industrial Park in Astana will not only accelerate the development of key sectors of our economy -but-also create numerous new jobs.”
