Kazakhstan keen to Beijing Olympics and bilateral ties, ambassador says


The three decades, for Koishibayev, is a very short period in history but key to China and Kazakhstan because the bilateral relations have reached a "very high" level of permanent comprehensive strategic partnership and will usher in an even brighter future.
As one of the most important partners of China in Central Asia, "Kazakhstan will develop closer ties with China in all fields and directions of the mutual beneficial cooperation," Koishibayev said, citing logistics, transportation, hi-tech areas, culture and education.
Kazakhstan is one of the most important segment of the China-Europe freight route under the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative and is ready to further participate in the initiative.
The situation in Kazakhstan has been stabilized and life has returned to normal after riots erupted in some major cities of the country in January. Koishibayev said the unrest did not target on foreign nationals, including the Chinese and their properties, or the two countries' joint projects. "Our foreign economic strategy will be the same," he said.
