Серик Жумангарин встретился с Чрезвычайным и Полномочным Послом КНР Хань Чуньлинем 18.04.2025
Заместитель Премьер-министра – министр национальной экономики Серик Жумангарин встретился с Чрезвычайным и Полномочным Послом КНР в Республике Казахстан Хань Чуньлинем.Серик Жумангарин тепло приветствовал дипломата, поздравив с началом работы в Казахстане. Он выразил уверенность, что многолетний опыт Посла, в том числе в Министерстве коммерции КНР, послужит укреплению стратегического партнерства между странами. «Отношения между нашими странами достигли качественно нового этапа, отражающего высокий уровень доверия и стратегического партнерства. Движущей силой их непрерывного укрепления являются личные дружественные контакты лидеров двух стран. Казахстан и Китай являются добрыми соседями и надежными стратегическими партнерами. Мы выстроили многогранное, устойчивое и взаимовыгодное сотрудничество по всем ключевым направлениям взаимодействия», — отметил вице-премьер. Особое внимание в ходе встречи было уделено развитию торгово-экономических связей. Китай остается крупнейшим внешнеторговым партнером Казахстана. По итогам 2024 года товарооборот между Казахстаном и Китаем достиг рекордных $43,8 млрд. Стороны отметили значительный рост экспорта казахстанской несырьевой продукции и обсудили шаги по диверсификации товарной номенклатуры. Акцент сделан на развитии электронной коммерции, в том числе продвижении национальных павильонов Казахстана на платформах Alibaba и JD.com. Отмечен успех сотрудничества YTO Group Express и Казпочты по созданию совместного предприятия доставки почтовых отправлений.Отдельный блок вопросов был посвящен возможностям расширения поставок казахстанской сельскохозяйственной продукции на рынок КНР. Участники обсудили возникающие барьеры при перевозках зерна, длительные процедуры включения казахстанских предприятий в реестр экспортеров КНР и согласования ветеринарных и фитосанитарных требований, аккредитации казахстанских элеваторов в реестре Главного таможенного управления (ГТУ) Китая.  В целях увеличения объемов экспорта мясной продукции вице-премьер предложил рассмотреть возможность признания принципа регионализации в ветеринарии для снятия действующих ограничений на экспорт. «Большинство экспортеров говядины и свинины находятся на территории северо-западных и центральных областей Казахстана, где все еще действуют ограничения по ящуру. Хотя с момента ликвидации болезни прошло уже более двух лет. По итогам проведенных ГТУ инспекций животноводческих предприятий и аудита ветеринарной службы Казахстана мы просим снять действующие ограничения, в рамках принятого казахстанской стороной принципа регионализации болезней животных. Это позволит вводить ограничения со стороны Китая лишь в отношении конкретного региона Казахстана, где зафиксирована вспышка ящура, а не всей территории страны», — подчеркнул Серик Жумангарин.По итогам встречи Хан Чуньлинь, отметил высокий уровень двустороннего партнерства, достигнутого к началу нового этапа – золотого тридцатилетия взаимоотношений Китая и Казахстана. Он также выразил готовность к совместной работе над новой дорожной картой экономического сотрудничества двух стран, включая развитие проектов в сфере возобновляемой энергетики, цифровой экономики, АПК и электронной торговли.https://primeminister.kz/ru/news/serik-zhumangarin-vstretilsya-s-chrezvychaynym-i-polnomochnym-poslom-knr-khan-chunlinem-29941 Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/977797?lang=kk

ANNOUNCEMENT Personal account is the most convenient way to control your savings 18.04.2025
The amount of pension benefits from the UAPF directly depends on the amount of savings that are formed thanks to regular and full contributions. The amount of contributions received monthly into accounts increases due to investment income, and also serves as confirmation of work experience since 1998, which is necessary for calculating both the total length of participation in the pension system and the amount of the basic pension benefit at the expense of budgetary funds.UAPF reminds of the importance of monitoring the correctness of calculations, especially if contributions are withheld from wages. All these measures will help ensure that citizens' savings in the UAPF are in full order and will provide a decent pension in the future.Today, every person with an account in UAPF has access to a personal account on the official website enpf.kz or in the UAPF mobile application.

Instructions were given on issues raised at the Government meeting 18.04.2025
A meeting was convened by the Government today to address concerns regarding fire safety training and measures for flood prevention. Nurlybek Nalibayev, the regional Akim, participated in the meeting virtually. Following the Government's discussions, the regional leader conducted a subsequent meeting where he provided directives to the relevant industry officials concerning the topics that were discussed."According to statistics, 90% of emergency situations in the country occur as a result of fires. Given the dry and windy climate of our region, the risk of the occurrence and rapid spread of steppe fires is extremely high.To prevent steppe fires, constant monitoring and prompt action are necessary. Most forest and steppe fires occur due to non-compliance with fire safety rules by the public and businesses, as well as a lack of responsibility. Local farms must notify forestry agencies in advance before clearing land. Fire prevention measures must be strictly controlled. Due to natural and human factors, there is a high risk of dry grass fires along main and inter-district roads, as well as in crop areas. Strengthening control in forest areas and on agricultural lands is essential. Comprehensive measures to prevent floods are being implemented in the region. Ice drift began on the rivers on February 14, and they were completely cleared in March. The water level in the rivers was managed by diverting water into main canals and lakes. Efficient water use and ensuring safety in flood-prone areas are important. The issues discussed at today's meeting are relevant. They must be kept under strict control and addressed promptly," N. Nalibayev noted.It should be noted that 15 fire trucks, 10 drones, and 65 permanent fire brigades are involved in preventing forest fires. Over the past three years, funds have been allocated to strengthen the material and technical resources of the region's forestry services. This year, plans include the purchase of 62 units of equipment and about 80 tools. A reserve has been prepared for extinguishing forest and steppe fires, and 15 observation towers are on permanent duty. Additionally, 135 responsible organizations equipped with special equipment have been assigned to 29 potentially dangerous flood zones. They have 410 units of special equipment and 1,234 personnel at their disposal. There is a sufficient material and technical reserve to combat floods, including 129.7 tons of fuel, 95,110 bags, and other materials. Evacuation points for the population in case of floods have been prepared, with 61 collection points and 71 reception points for evacuees.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kyzylorda/press/news/details/977143?lang=kk
