The
President emphasized that the Kazakh authorities are paying attention to Alatau
City.
We are
paying special attention to the project to build the new city of Alatau, which
is set to become a powerful national and regional center of attraction for
innovation, the development of the crypto industry, and technological
entrepreneurship. In this regard, Kazakhstan looks forward to close cooperation
with Chinese companies. We fully support the signing of today's agreement
between Kazakhstan and China State Construction Engineering Corporation. I
consider, it is necessary to start construction without delay. In the near
future, Alatau City will receive special status as an independent ecosystem, - declared Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.
Alatau
City is an ambitious flagship project to create a new modern city in the Almaty
region of Kazakhstan. It is positioned as a “city of the future” — an
international business hub with a focus on innovation, sustainability, and high
environmental standards. The project aims to diversify the economy, attract
foreign investment, and develop logistics, given its proximity to cross-border
routes.
A year
ago, the President discussed the prospects for Alatau City with a renowned
expert from Singapore. The head of state also invited South Korean investors to
participate in the Alatau City project.
