Stories of Expo Promotion · the Belt and Road: an important hub of the ancient Silk Road brings a "new wind" of Expo Promotion
On September 7, 2023, on the tenth anniversary of the "the Belt and Road" initiative and less than 60 days after the opening of the sixth Import Expo, the forum of the Import Expo was successfully held at Nazarbayev University in Kazakhstan.
Over the past few years, the Expo has promoted economic and trade cooperation between countries jointly building the "the Belt and Road", not only providing better business environment and convenient conditions for enterprises, but also promoting people to people and cultural exchanges and friendly exchanges. As an important country in Central Asia, Kazakhstan is the first place to initiate the "the Belt and Road" initiative and the first station to go out of the west. In 2022, the trade volume between China and Kazakhstan will break the US $31 billion mark for the first time, with a year-on-year growth of 23.6%. From January to July this year, the trade volume between the two countries increased by 24.8%.
The tenth anniversary of the the Belt and Road initiative in Kazakhstan is both a milestone and a new starting point. As an innovative measure to promote the high-quality co construction of the "the Belt and Road", the Expo provides a new model for Kazakhstan's economic development, and also provides a new opportunity for the wider and further development of the "the Belt and Road" that benefits the world.
