During this year's two sessions of the Chinese National Congress, Kazakhstan's ambassador to China, Shahrat Nureshev, received an exclusive interview with Xinhuanet on bilateral relations, the "the Belt and Road" initiative and other topics. He said that the "the Belt and Road" initiative has become a solid driving force for global economic, trade and investment cooperation, providing huge possibilities for Kazakhstan China investment cooperation. There are no obstacles in deepening cooperation and consolidating friendship between the two countries. Nuryshev pointed out that "Kazakhstan and China celebrated the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations last year. In the past 30 years of exchanges, we have made great achievements." Nuryshev said that Kazakhstan and China have maintained close cooperation within the multilateral framework of the United Nations, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, the Conference on Interaction and Confidence-Building Measures in Asia, and the "China+five Central Asian countries" cooperation mechanism. The two countries jointly fight against the "three forces" and transnational crimes, and firmly uphold the principle of non-interference in each other's internal affairs. Nureshev said that China is one of Kazakhstan's largest trade and investment partners. In the whole year of 2022, the total import and export of goods between the two countries reached 31.17 billion US dollars, an increase of 23.6% year on year, a record high. In addition, the two countries are also actively studying issues such as the establishment of cultural centers for each other, the opening of Luban workshops in Kazakhstan, and the resumption of cultural exchanges between Kazakhstan-China youth. "There are no outstanding issues between our two countries, and there are no obstacles on the way to deepen cooperation and consolidate friendship," Nureshev said. The Global Development Initiative and the Global Security Initiative are in line with the interests of global development. Nureshev pointed out that Kazakhstan highly recognized the global development initiative and the global security initiative proposed by China, and highly valued the role of China in the global governance system. "We believe that the two initiatives meet the needs of the times and are in line with the interests of global development." Nuryshev said that Kazakhstan fully agrees with the core concepts and principles of the Global Security Initiative, including upholding respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries and adhering to the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations. "Under the current conditions, we really need to establish a balanced and equal global partnership, strengthen trust and coordinate the efforts of all parties to overcome the global crisis," Nureshev said. Kazakhstan has become a successful example of mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation on the the Belt and Road. China has signed cooperation documents on jointly building the the Belt and Road with 151 countries and 32 international organizations. Nureshev believes that the continuous expansion of the "the Belt and Road" circle of friends confirms the success of the initiative. "Kazakhstan has also become a successful example of mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation under the framework of the initiative." Nureshev pointed out that Kazakhstan and China have achieved fruitful results in the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road" cooperation, including the Kazakhstan China Lianyungang logistics cooperation base, the dry port in the "Khorgos East Gate" economic special zone, the "Western Europe Western China" highway and a number of major infrastructure projects have taken root. In addition to improving transportation and logistics capacity and developing transit channels, the two sides also actively promote exchanges and cooperation in energy, industry, agro-industrial complex and Kazakhstan's agricultural products export. In addition, the "the Belt and Road" initiative also provides great possibilities for Kazakhstan China cooperation in the field of investment.
