Проект рассматривается как один из ключевых для обеспечения устойчивого экономического роста нашей страны.Казахстан последовательно реализует повестку диверсификации экономики, цифровой трансформации и перехода к «зеленому» росту. В этой связи выражена заинтересованность в дальнейшем расширении сотрудничества со Всемирным банком, в том числе в сферах устойчивой энергетики, управления водными ресурсами, транспортной логистики и внедрения инновационных решений.Антонелла Бассани подчеркнула, что Всемирный банк готов к  реализации всех обсуждаемых проектов, которые вошли  в Рамочную стратегию партнерства.  «Несмотря на отсутствие выхода к морю, Казахстан обладает значительным потенциалом и демонстрирует устойчивые темпы роста.

Мы готовы поддерживать страну как через инвестиции в инфраструктуру, так и через реализацию реформ», — отметила она.Также была подчеркнута важность программы модернизации энергетики и водного сектора как одного из наиболее капиталоемких направлений сотрудничества.

Behind every state institution are people — those who, every day, without unnecessary noise or publicity, perform their work honestly and conscientiously. It is precisely such specialists who shape the true face of public service. One of them is Ekaterina Mikhailovna Parshina — the chief specialist of the Department of the Committee for Technical Regulation and Metrology of the Ministry of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan for the North Kazakhstan Region, a state inspector for state control and supervision.Ekaterina Mikhailovna has been working in the public service system for over 17 years. During this time, she has established herself as a professional for whom responsibility, integrity, and quality of work are not just job requirements, but a personal standard. Colleagues note her attention to detail, diligence, and ability to find solutions even in complex work situations.The work of a state inspector requires not only knowledge of legislation and practical experience but also a high degree of personal responsibility. Ekaterina Mikhailovna has repeatedly participated in conducting state control in various regions of the country and has taken part in improving regulatory rules in the field of determining the country of origin of goods and issuing certificates. Her professional knowledge is also in demand during prestigious quality competitions such as "Altyn Sapa" and "Best Product of Kazakhstan," where she participates in the work of the commissions.However, behind the strict formulations of the position and professional achievements stands a person for whom simple life values are important.Outside of work, Ekaterina Mikhailovna leads an active and modest lifestyle. She loves movement and sports — walks, hiking, and fitness classes. In her free time, she prefers books, especially historical works and novels that allow for a deeper understanding of people's destinies and eras.A special place in her life is occupied by volunteer work. She does not remain indifferent to those in need: she participates in supporting homeless animals and tries to help elderly people, for whom attention and human participation are especially important.But the main support and source of vitality for Ekaterina Mikhailovna remains her family. She holds a special warmth for her parents — respects them, cares for them, and considers it her duty to support and protect her closest people.The stories of such people rarely become the center of attention because they do not seek publicity. But it is precisely thanks to their daily, honest, and responsible work that society's trust in public service is strengthened. And it is precisely such specialists who confirm that public service is, first and foremost, service to the people.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/1201213?lang=kk
