In his Address, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev emphasized the role of our country as an important bridge between Europe and Asia. In recent years, the volume of cargo transportation through the territory of Kazakhstan has exceeded 1 billion tons. This is a clear indicator of the country's potential in the field of transport and logistics. Kazakhstan's transit opportunities are even wider. Through the "North-South" corridor, it is possible to directly access the markets of the Persian Gulf and South Asian countries. And within the framework of the "East-West" route and China's "One Belt, One Road" initiative, our country will continue to play an important role as a major land route in Eurasia. The President instructed to pay special attention to road construction and repair. Today, 13 thousand kilometers of roads are being built and renovated. In particular, it is necessary to accelerate the construction of the "Seksaul-Beineu" road. If this route is put into operation, the time for delivering goods from China to Europe will be reduced by one third. Transport and logistics is not just infrastructure, it is the lifeblood of the economy. For Kazakhstan, it is a path to investment, jobs, and deeper integration with the global market. #KazakhstanTransitCountry #LogisticsDevelopment #Address2025 #Infrastructure #TransportHub #KazakhstanLogistics #TransportHub #Kazakhstan2025 #RevivaloftheGreatSilkRoad #AddressofthePresident

Despite the geopolitical turmoil in the region, there has never been any doubt about their activities in our country. Your activities in Kazakhstan have had a positive impact on the modernization of our country's economy, the introduction of advanced technologies, and the sustainability and strength of our economic potential. We will continue to constructively cooperate with our American partners in the Tengiz, Kashagan, and Karachaganak oil fields.
