After we defend the dossier in October 2013, we will know what configuration the EXPO-town has, what amount of investments is planned to be attracted for the infrastructure development and how much is to be totally invested in Astana to receive guests and participants," K.Kelimbetov said.
"As you all know, we plan to receive 5 million visitors during 3 months of the EXPO. Not only Astana but the whole Kazakhstan should be ready to receive such great number of people.
