Kazakhstan is currently in an active phase of developing its logistics infrastructure, and projects like those proposed by S Sistem Lojistik are crucial for improving the efficiency of both domestic and transit transportation. We view logistics as a key area for attracting investment, particularly in the context of economic diversification and strengthening Kazakhstan’s role as a transport hub of Eurasia. On our part, we are ready to provide comprehensive support, assist in securing land plots, obtaining access to government support mechanisms, and coordinating interactions with regional akimats and sectorial authorities. I am confident that cooperation with S Sistem will become a model of successful partnership between Kazakhstan and Turkiye in the field of logistics and industrial cooperation, he said.
