During the meeting, the parties discussed the potential for cooperation in the field of infrastructure projects, as well as issues of sustainable development and the promotion of joint initiatives within the framework of the One Belt - One Road Initiative.

The development of transit potential and its integration with sustainable energy and industrial projects is a priority for the Fund, and there are great opportunities for partnership with the Silk Road Fund, Nurlan Zhakupov noted.

The Silk Road Fund is a $40 billion state investment fund established in 2014 to support major infrastructure projects along the New Silk Road and strengthen China’s trade ties with neighboring countries, especially in Central Asia.
