Over the past decade, Kazakhstan has undergone significant transformations in economic development, infrastructure projects, and international cooperation. In major cities like Almaty, modernization projects have led to renovated airports and a digitized service sector, while issues such as traffic congestion and overpopulation remain unresolved. Efforts to host international events, including the 2024 World Nomad Games, reflect Kazakhstan’s aspiration to present itself as a civilized, democratic, and progressive nation.
Under the Belt and Road Initiative, Kazakhstan has deepened its collaboration with China, launching large-scale projects. Trade routes starting from Khorgos, the New Eurasian land-sea transportation corridor, and cultural exchange centers at the China-Kazakhstan border have strengthened economic and cultural ties between the two countries. Furthermore, partnerships in green energy projects, such as wind and solar power, have become a significant milestone in Kazakhstan’s efforts to reduce carbon emissions.
These collaborations have boosted Kazakhstan’s trade volume with China. The automobile sector, in particular, has gained prominence in bilateral trade, with a significant increase in vehicle imports from China to Kazakhstan. Projects integrated with the Belt and Road Initiative aim not only to generate economic benefits but also to foster a shared vision of mutual development and prosperity between the two nations.
