Implementation of the Kazakh-Chinese programme of industrial and investment cooperation will result in establishment of competitive high-tech and export-oriented enterprises. The projects will create about 20 thousand new permanent jobs, whereby over 90% of employees will be the citizens of Kazakhstan.
The final products will be cars, oil and gas equipment, steel pipes, special alloys, primary aluminum, soda ash, polypropylene, rapeseed oil and meat products. Additionally, projects will be implemented in the fields, such as energy, construction, light industry and infrastructure development.
All projects implemented in various regions of the country use modern technologies.

All projects, without exception, must receive a positive conclusion from the state examination, upon which construction of production facilities will be allowed.
