Serik Akhmetov, Deputy Prime Minister of Kazakhstan:
- Kazakhstan is a market economy and we wanted to confirm once again that we’ve always respected the rules of international trading and will continue doing so. We will be supporting domestic commodity producers within the context of modern conditions through placing the largest possible volume of products provided their quality is compliant with international standards.
The government of Kazakhstan will be rendering assistance to local enterprises in the production of high-quality products. It is planned to allocate 100 billion US dollars for this purpose. The weak potential of the coastal infrastructure of Kazakhstan’s sector is considered to be one of the central problems in the region. According to specialists, this is the reason why the majority of orders for the production of sea equipment are placed abroad. It is necessary to boost the development of coastal infrastructure and associated services to create favourable terms for investors.
