Kazakh President invites German companies to work in Kazakhstan
"It's a great honor for Kazakhstan to cooperate with Germany, the leading European country," Nazarbayev said.
He noted that the Kazakh program of industrialization contained carefully prepared measures of what should be done in each region and city. "This program offers many benefits and privileges. The first goal is to process our raw materials, our oil. This year, together with the South Korean company, Kazakhstan will build a USD 6 billion powerful petrochemical complex. In addition, this year at the center of Kazakhstan - in Balkhash - we will begin construction of a large thermal power plant," Nursultan Nazarbayev said.
Kazakhstan has begun construction of a 1.5 thousand km railway, annually builds 2000 kilometers of highways, implements large-scale projects in the field of housing, the President also said.
As the President of Kazakhstan said, the last year Kazakhstan harvested 30 million tons of grain, and intends to export 12 million tons. In this regard, he stressed that our country needed agricultural machinery and German companies may assembly harvesters in Kazakhstan.
