Global trade enabler reaffirms commitment to enabling Kazakhstan’s trade and economic growth
The potential of DP World investing in new infrastructure in Kazakhstan’s ports and logistics sectors was the focus of recent discussions between global trade enabler DP World’s Chairman and CEO Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem and Kazakhstan’s Prime Minister Askar Mamin in Astana.
This follows the signing of two framework agreements with the government of Kazakhstan for Special Economic Zones (SEZ) in Aktau and Khorgos.
DP World has been providing management services to the Port of Aktau, Kazakhstan’s main cargo and bulk terminal on the Caspian Sea, and Khorgos SEZ and Inland Container Terminal (ICD), which is strategically situated on the China-Kazakhstan border and has been acting as the primary transit point for trans-Eurasian cargo trains.
DP World considers that both facilities play an important role in enhancing trade connectivity along the New Silk Route and have further actively promoted business connectivity between Kazakhstan and Dubai.
“We believe that the economic fundamentals of Kazakhstan are very strong, which is why look forward to continue investing there,” remarked Bin Sulayem.
