Rewritten Article:
In a move to fortify interdepartmental links with China, Kazakhstan's First Deputy Prime Minister, Roman Sklyar, inked agreements concerning water resources and archival affairs during a recent visit to the country. This strategizing session unfolded at the Kazakhstan-China Committee meeting, held March 19th.
Photos from primeminister.kz reveal Sklyar in discussions with Chinese Vice Premier Ding Xuexiang. The meeting’s outcome included some exciting developments: a new Coordinating Committee for Industrial and Investment Cooperation and an Education Subcommittee will be added to the Kazakhstan-China Committee, enhancing the partnership's scale and scope.
According to the Prime Minister’s media reports, Sklyar and Ding Xuexiang expressed a common interest in fostering barrier-free trade, ratcheting up transport linkage, and escalating joint investment projects, particularly in localized production within Kazakhstan.
They delved deeper into various dimensions, scrutinizing trade, investment, transportation, agriculture, energy, and tourism. Their evaluation revealed a rosy picture: last year, bilateral trade clocked an impressive $43.8 billion.
Bootlegging sessions with Chinese industry magnates provided Sklyar insights into collaboration avenues, particularly in metallurgy, energy, mechanical engineering, and the agro-industrial complex. Moreover, he examined the potential of joint investment projects in Kazakhstan, pertaining to coal chemistry, automotive manufacturing, deep agriculture processing, and renewable energy sources.
These collaborative ventures are significant steps toward bolstering China-Kazakhstan relations, which have gained momentum and substance since the two presidents, Xi Jinping from China and Tokayev from Kazakhstan, forged a comprehensive strategic partnership. Recently, these partnership ties have flourished, with cooperation intensifying, ultimately leading to fruitful results.
Embodying China’s neighborhood diplomacy strategy, Kazakhstan serves as a top priority partner within this framework. This strategic partnership fosters unwavering friendship and high-level trust, leading to a robust increase in bilateral trade, shattering past records, despite global market fluctuations.
The creation of the new subcommittee on education and the Coordinating Committee for Industrial and Investment Cooperation underlines both countries' commitment to nurturing bilateral relations and unlocking fresh breakthroughs in diverse fields, from education to industry and investment. Moreover, this strategic partnership aids in forging the high-quality Belt and Road Initiative, committing both nations to a shared future brimming with amity, mutual benefit, inclusiveness, and sustained development.
- The new Coordinating Committee for Industrial and Investment Cooperation, established during the Kazakhstan-China Committee meeting, signals a strong emphasis on joint ventures in sectors like energy, metallurgy, mechanical engineering, and the agro-industrial complex.
