President receives chairman of Kazakhstan Temir Zholy
A. Mamin informed the President about the current activities of the company, measures to improve the effectiveness of its subsidiaries, the implementation of major projects, as well as plans for the upcoming period. President of Kazakhstan drew attention to the importance of the ongoing program "Nurly Zhol". "It is necessary to control construction and reconstruction of roads running from Astana. These works will have a multiplier effect - providing manufacturers with orders for the supply of equipment and construction materials. People's Republic of China will support the project as our country is included in the "economic zone" of the Silk Road," President said. Head of State noted that the creation of the international financial center in Astana will also require transport and logistics sectors development. "We need to connect the capital with such leading financial centers like Dubai, Frankfurt, and Hong Kong. The civil aviation sector should learn new routes. At the same time we should establish a new airline to expand the domestic flights," Nursultan Nazarbayev said. In turn, Askar Mamin stressed that Nurly Zhol program is a large-scale work on the construction of new railways, highways, reconstruction of infrastructure, ports and airports. In particular, he reported on a number of major projects identified in the Plan of infrastructural development. In the perspective of developing transport system of the western region three new cargo terminals were built. These terminals allow expanding Aktau seaport. In addition a new railway line Borzhakty - Ersai is under construction. Following the meeting the President gave a number of specific instructions.
