The modern ZHETYSU container terminal was opened. This is an important infrastructure facility, implemented on behalf of the Head of State.

The terminal was opened as part of a strategic partnership between Kazakhstan and China - a subsidiary of JSC NC KTZ, Kedentransservice JSC and Xi’an Free Trade Port Construction and Operation from China.

The terminal will become a strategic center for the consolidation of cargo flows and the largest import hub in Kazakhstan. On the opening day, the first container train from Xi’an, launched from the Kazakh-Chinese terminal, arrived at the terminal.

“Today we are opening more than just an infrastructure facility — we are launching new business, trade and partnership opportunities. The terminal will enhance transport connectivity, as well as reduce logistics costs”, - Nurlan Zhakupov, Chairman of the Management Board of Samruk-Kazyna JSC, said.

This is the fourth joint project that the Fund and KTZ are implementing together with their strategic partner, Xi’an Dry Port Construction and Operation Co., Ltd).
