Highly praising China's achievements in digitalization, which have gained worldwide recognition, the President stated the need to continue joint work in this area, Tengrinews.kz reports with reference to Akorda.
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.
