I recently returned from Kazakhstan — the economic powerhouse of Central Asia. I visited majestic Astana, vibrant Almaty, picturesque Burabay, and the scenic Charyn Canyon. The beauty of Kazakhstan can only be rivaled by its ambitions. The country attracts international companies and tech startups with business-friendly policies and favorable taxes. It also improves its edge in education and science by supporting innovative schools and universities, wrote Durov on his Telegram channel.
