Kazakhstan and China Deepen Green Agenda at Beijing Trade Forum
Kazakhstan and China discussed ways to deepen green cooperation at the Kazakh-Chinese Trade and Economic Cooperation Forum, titled Golden Bridge to Green Cooperation, in Beijing on Sept. 12-16 as part of the China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS).
Kazakh Minister of Trade and Integration Arman Shakkaliyev highlighted the ongoing collaboration between Kazakhstan and China in the realm of environmentally friendly projects and the exchange of advanced technologies. He emphasized the critical role of transitioning to electric vehicles and integrating green technologies in cargo transportation to support the sustainable development of trade corridors.
Given China’s advancements in electric vehicles, this collaboration offers substantial potential to improve environmental performance and enhance the efficiency of transport corridors.
“The scale of trade in services is vast and limitless. The CIFTIS exhibition offers a unique platform to unite the global services market and foster integration and cooperation. For the first time, Kazakhstan is participating with a national stand. In recent years, our service sector has steadily grown, contributing to economic diversification and job creation, now accounting for 53% of our GDP,” he said.(Source:astanatimes)
