“Our international partnership is key to advancing Kazakhstan’s green initiatives. We place particular emphasis on attracting green financing and climate investments to support sustainable projects, as well as exchanging best practices within the framework of global cooperation. Recently, we strengthened ties with China by signing a Memorandum of Understanding with the Technology Transfer Center of China-SCO. This partnership aims to stimulate the growth of our domestic green technology market,” said Mr. Didar Karimsakov.
The forum marks an important step in strengthening bilateral relations and creating conditions for further development of green technologies and sustainable development within the strategic partnership between Kazakhstan and China. Following the forum, the signing of mutually beneficial framework agreements and memoranda of cooperation is planned.
