Minister of Trade and Integration Arman Shakkaliev reported on the development of cross-border hubs at a Government meeting chaired by Olzhas Bektenov.The Head of State set the task of forming full-fledged transport and logistics hubs in Kazakhstan in Central Asia and the Caspian region. To implement it, transport, logistics and trade centers are being created around the country on the borders with China, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, the Russian Federation and on the Caspian coast. The goals, objectives and approaches for the creation and development of cross-border hubs are provided for in the Concept of development of transport and logistics potential of Kazakhstan until 2030. Their creation will accelerate trade cooperation with border countries, increase the growth of non-primary exports by 30%, and simplify logistics procedures for businesses.The location of the Industrial Trade and Logistics Complex project was chosen in the area adjacent to one of the busiest transit checkpoints: Karasu on the part of Kazakhstan and Ak-Tilek on the part of Kyrgyzstan, which are part of the international automobile corridor Western Europe – Western China."The complex will provide services for storage and pre-sale preparation of products, consolidation and redistribution of goods by wholesale lots. To date, a pool of potential residents of ITLK is being formed. A simplified border system and a registration system for vehicles and goods will operate on the territory of the complex, where goods will move across the new bridge, which will significantly relieve the existing checkpoints. Construction work will begin in 2025," the minister said. The International Center for Industrial Cooperation "Central Asia" will become the largest center in the region for the consolidation, processing and distribution of cargo flows, as well as industrial cooperation within the framework of the North–South corridor.The center will be located near the checkpoints "Atameken" (Kazakhstan) and "Gulistan" (Uzbekistan), will consist of production sites, warehouses for storage, as well as transport infrastructure. This will speed up the delivery of goods and reduce logistics costs, reduce the number of participants in the supply chain, reduce the cost of the product to the end user and increase the speed of deliveries.The center will provide the creation of new industries, jobs, processing of agricultural and industrial products, industries in the field of mechanical engineering and metalworking, pharmaceuticals, electrical engineering, chemical, leather and textile and clothing products, including the project of Global Textile LLP for the production of finished textile products.The creation of the ICPC will favorably affect the further deepening of bilateral trade and economic relations with border countries, activate business ties between manufacturers and entrepreneurs of the two countries, and will stimulate an increase in mutual trade turnover to $ 10 billion in the next 5 years. But the Eurasia Cross-border Trade Center will be located on the territory adjacent to the airport in Uralsk. It is a hub for cargo flows with access to the cities of Orenburg, Saratov, Samara and further to the largest federal districts of the Russian Federation and Eastern European countries. To implement the Center, an industrial zone has been created for investment projects for the production of paints, polymer coatings, plastic containers/containers and 3D decor panels. The implementation of the Center will bring macroeconomic effects for the West Kazakhstan region: a decrease in the share of total national economic costs for the promotion of goods and goods in the GDP structure by 5%-10%; an increase in the investment attractiveness of production placement projects. The launch of the Eurasia TTC is scheduled for 2026.The Khorgos Hub is an integral element of expanding the transit potential of Kazakhstan, and is also part of the global concept of the People's Republic of China – "One Belt, One Road", which takes into account the geographical location, infrastructure potential with access to Europe and the Middle East. According to Arman Shakkaliev, the implementation of the Khorgos Node project consists in the interconnection and integration of infrastructure facilities to increase exports, transit and the development of industrial cooperation. It will give an impetus to the development of trade and economic cooperation on the border of Kazakhstan and China.The Caspian Hub will be aimed at the countries of the Caspian region with a population of more than 100 million people. The practical implementation of the project is the construction of a site for container storage and transshipment from a railway wagon to sea containers, as well as the provision of high–quality service for their processing. The Caspian Hub will allow to increase the volume of transit cargo from China to Europe at TMTM, as well as the development of the Turkmenbashi – Aktau – PRC container line.One of the projects implemented as part of the development of hubs at the Caspian hub is the project "Construction of a container hub in the Aktau seaport". Work on the implementation of the project has begun. A land plot with an area of 19 hectares has been reserved on the territory of the Aktau Seaport SEZ. An agreement on attracting investments in this project has been signed with a potential investor – the port of LLC GK Port of Lianyungang. International companies PSA International (Singapore), Abu Dhabi Ports Group (UAE), Adani Group (India), and Rhenus (Germany) also expressed interest in participating in the project. The project is being implemented by the Ministry of Transport in cooperation with the Akimat of the Mangystau region. The construction of a container hub in the port of Aktau is scheduled to be completed in the second quarter of 2025.Another project that gives impetus to the development and expansion of the Kuryk port is the construction of the multifunctional Sarzha marine terminal. The investor is the SEMURG INVEST company. The project involves the construction of a general cargo terminal, a universal terminal, a bulk cargo terminal, as well as a transport and logistics center and a production complex with a total capacity of about 10 million tons. General cargo transshipment has been underway since November 2023, and more than 73 thousand tons of metal and fertilizers have been processed to date. The project completion date is 2026."To date, the measures and procedures for the adoption of organizational and administrative documents necessary for the creation of hubs have been fully completed. In particular, two intergovernmental agreements have been signed with Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan, and industrial zones have been created," Arman Shakkaliyev said. The Minister also stressed that the creation of production facilities together with border countries by building a system of cross-border hubs as priority development zones will contribute to:strengthening the role of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the system of transcontinental and interstate economic corridors;the growth of trade turnover between the countries and the strengthening of strategic relations;development of industrial cooperation and transport and logistics infrastructure;development of the export potential of the Republic of Kazakhstan;the organization of modern multimodal hubs for servicing international cargo flows.

In Astana, the price index for socially important food products amounted to 99.7% last week. There is a decrease in prices for a number of key products such as horns, buckwheat, rice, cabbage, sugar and cottage cheese.In order to stabilize vegetable prices in the off-season, forward contracts were signed in Astana with large producers of Pavlodar and Turkestan regions for the supply of about 14 thousand tons of vegetables. These measures will help ensure an uninterrupted supply of the capital and minimize possible price fluctuations for this product.It is worth noting that according to the Bureau of National Statistics, prices for some types of vegetables in Astana remain among the lowest in the country compared to other regions.In addition, contracts have been signed for the supply of 100 tons of butter and 528 tons of flour, which are sold in the city's retail facilities at fixed prices.The main purpose of the events is to control the rise in prices on the food market and ensure the availability of basic goods for residents of the city.In order to ensure compliance with pricing policy and legislation, the Department of Trade and Protection of Rights is constantly monitored in conjunction with the MIO.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/900827

President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev visited the Astana hub innovation ecosystem. Minister of Digital Development, Innovation and Aerospace Industry Jaslan Madiyev demonstrated projects based on artificial intelligence.The President instructed to continue the digitalization of the economy and to apply artificial intelligence technologies more widely. So at the meeting, Minister Jaslan Madiyev spoke about the stages of the implementation of the concept of artificial intelligence."Our task is to create a technologically advanced society that should be intelligent, creative and equipped with advanced tools — by creating a new concept that we call "Generative Nation", reflecting our desire to create a society of the future. This practice has already been successfully applied in other countries: Smart Nation in Singapore, where the emphasis is on smart technologies. Startup Nation in Israel, where the focus is on innovative entrepreneurship," Minister Jaslan Madiyev said.According to Jaslan Madiev, the basis of the GenNation.kz there are three main directions: the institutional environment, the creation of infrastructure and the development of human capital.This year, the Artificial Intelligence Committee was established. The leadership of the committee is formed from reservists of the Presidential Youth Personnel Reserve. The Concept of Artificial Intelligence development for the next five years was also adopted.The document covers key challenges, strategies to overcome them, takes into account the regional characteristics and potential of Kazakhstan, and also includes specific measures aimed at achieving the set goals.As part of the development of the institutional environment, work is underway on the draft law "On Artificial Intelligence".In terms of infrastructure development, in accordance with the instructions of the President, the technological infrastructure is actively developing in the country.With the coordination of the Ministry, the efforts of academic organizations in partnership with business have currently launched the Kazakhstan supercomputer cluster for the development of KazLLM and the creation of AI products based on the model."With the support of ICRIAP and the ISSAI EOM laboratory at Nazarbayev University, the training of the KazLLM model based on 148 billion tokens in Kazakh, English, Russian and Turkish has been completed. This model will be available to a wide range of users, including the scientific community, startups and large corporations. In accordance with the initiative of the Head of State, KazLLM will become the basis for the creation of a larger project — TurkLLM, aimed at the development of natural language processing technologies in the Turkic-speaking space. The relevant agreement was signed at the last OTG summit," the minister said.This project will be an important milestone in the creation of a national AI infrastructure and confirmation of Kazakhstan's status as a technological leader in the region.One of the priorities for the transformation of public services is the creation of personal AI assistants in the eGov system. In professional language, they are called AI agents. Thanks to such AI agents, citizens will no longer have to look for where to turn on their own, or waste time waiting. AI agents will be useful for citizens and government employees, and routine processes will be automated and will allow employees to focus their efforts on strategically important tasks.All this provided the basis for the creation of a National Artificial Intelligence platform in a secure circuit, on which you can quickly create AI solutions for any government agency.In addition, projects on the use of artificial intelligence in economic sectors have been launched.These programs form a unified methodology that simplifies and accelerates the process of AI decision-making by both government agencies and private sector enterprises and strengthen the development of the Generative Nation concept.For a constant influx of personnel into the AI industry, ICRIAP has launched an AI movement, within which it is planned to train 1 million people in 5 years. For middle and high school students, it is proposed to expand training programs with a focus on programming and artificial intelligence, using a game-based approach to learning based on TUMO and Tomorrow School.As a result of scaling, every year 100,000 schoolchildren will be able to improve their knowledge in mathematics, programming, learn creative technologies and develop critical thinking.This will create a critical mass of talent for learning in the next stage at Tomorrow School. To improve the competence of civil servants in making decisions based on data, it is proposed to introduce a mandatory basic course on artificial intelligence for existing and new employees. It is planned to create professional development centers for the corporate sector on the basis of leading IT universities. These projects have already been successfully tested in a pilot mode and from 2025 we plan their large-scale implementation throughout the country.To support AI startups at various stages, Astana Hub is already implementing a number of incubation and acceleration programs, such as AI'preneurs, Silk Way accelerator from Google, Hero Training from Draper University and others. Astana Hub has become an attractive platform for BigTech companies, whose offices are already opening for collaboration.The key stage of the AI movement will be the International Center for Artificial Intelligence - alem.ai which is being created on behalf of the President and will become the next milestone in the development of Astana Hub.Alem.ai It will become a platform where the best minds and advanced technologies work for the benefit of society, helping to unlock human potential, accelerate the development of key sectors of the economy and introduce artificial intelligence into various spheres of life.Alem.ai It will not only strengthen Kazakhstan's position in the field of artificial intelligence on the world map of the AI industry, but also become a symbol of the country's transformation.Thus, the formation of an institutional environment, the development of infrastructure and human capital will become the foundation for the implementation of the new concept of "Generative Nation".

Chairman of the Committee for Regulation and Control in the Field of Social Protection (hereinafter referred to as the Committee) Tolegen Ospankulov, the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Population of the Republic of Kazakhstan, spoke at a press conference at the Central Communications Service under the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan about the work of state inspectors of social protection in 2024.At the beginning of his speech, he noted that institutions of social inspectors exist in many countries and play an important role in improving the quality of social support for citizens, as well as allow for the formation of an effective and transparent social protection system with strict control over compliance with standards in this area.In Kazakhstan, the Institute of Social Inspectors has been introduced since the entry into force of the Social Code on July 1, 2023 to strengthen control over compliance by service providers with legislation in the field of social protection and improve the quality of services provided. To date, 111 state inspectors are working in the field of social protection of the population."The main activity of social protection inspectors is to monitor compliance with legislation in the field of social protection of persons with disabilities (hereinafter – LSI), the provision of special social services and social security.The functions of social inspectors also include conducting explanatory work on issues within their competence, interacting with government agencies, individuals and legal entities on issues of ensuring compliance with the requirements of legislation on social protection," Tolegen Ospankulov said.Social inspectors, based on the results of the inspection, make mandatory instructions to the subject of control for the elimination, prevention, prevention and prevention of detected violations and impose administrative fines for gross violations."Today, more than 730 thousand people live in the country. LSI, their share of the total population is 3.6%.In 11 months of 2024, social inspectors conducted 2,474 inspections, of which 2,307 were on accessibility for people with disabilities and 167 on the provision of special social services (hereinafter referred to as SSS). 629 inspections were carried out as part of preventive control, 655 – unscheduled and 1,190 – at the request of the prosecutor's office.

The inspections covered: 174 akimats, 167 SSU centers, 88 polyclinics and hospitals, 11 rehabilitation centers, 468 kindergartens, 802 schools, 144 lyceums and colleges, 110 departments and departments of local executive bodies, 39 trading houses, 12 banks, etc." – Tolegen Ospankulov informed.The Chairman of the Committee noted that the main violations of accessibility for LSI are: the absence of a ramp; the incongruity of the ramp angle, as well as the width of the doorway to the standards; the absence of handrails on the entrance group; inadequate sanitary facilities; lack of special parking spaces for LSI, signs, contrast guides for persons with visual impairment.In some organizations providing SSU, the need for ongoing or major repairs has been identified, as well as the discrepancy between the area of residential premises and the required standards. In addition, violations were found in terms of compliance with the norms and requirements of nutrition, prescribing and dispensing medicines, installing video surveillance cameras, maintaining personal files of service recipients, filling in staff, the need to replace furniture, equipment, hard and soft inventory, clothing and shoes, vehicles.Ospankulov stressed that the main focus on protecting the rights of LSI is the adaptation of facilities. Currently, the National Plan to Ensure the Rights and Improve the Quality of Life of Persons with Disabilities in the Republic of Kazakhstan until 2025, the Roadmap of the Amanat Party for 2023-2027 and the Halykpen Birge project, developed on behalf of the Head of State, are being implemented.The Roadmap of the Amanat party in the period from 2023 to 2027 provides for the adaptation of more than 40 thousand objects included in the Interactive Accessibility Map (hereinafter referred to as the Map). 20% of the facilities are subject to adaptation annually. By 2024, it is planned to adapt 40%, or 17,325 facilities, to 2025 – 60%, 2026 – 80%, in 2027, 100%."Today, according to local executive bodies, 22,166 objects have been fully adapted, or 51.8% (with a plan of 40%) of the number included in the Accessibility Map. Among them are almost 3.4 thousand healthcare facilities, more than 7.5 thousand educational facilities, 3.3 thousand institutions and organizations, more than 1.8 thousand cultural facilities, more than 4 thousand objects of trade, services, entertainment, etc.At the same time, in the regional aspect, indicators below the planned level were noted in Mangystau (36%) and Ulytau (28%) regions," the chairman of the Committee said.Tolegen Ospankulov added that in August this year, the criteria for assessing the degree of risk and a checklist in the field of social security, including compulsory social insurance, were approved. Inspections in these areas will begin from the beginning of 2025."The inspections will cover the sphere of social security of the population in terms of timely and correct appointment and transfer of social benefits to recipients. The subjects of control will be the NAO State Corporation Government for Citizens, JSC State Social Insurance Fund, as well as their branches, whose activities will be evaluated according to 12 criteria," he informed.At the end of his speech, Ospankulov said that another area of work of the Committee from January 1, 2025 will be the licensing of organizations providing SSU."The introduction of licensing is aimed at improving the quality of services provided to socially vulnerable segments of the population. When issuing a license, the availability of a material and technical base and equipment, a medical license, a fire safety license, the availability of an adapted building, a full staff, etc. will be taken into account. Thanks to the ongoing work, organizations that are not interested in providing high-quality services will be filtered out.Currently, social inspectors, together with local executive bodies, are working to analyze the readiness for licensing of organizations providing SSU. Applications for licensing will be accepted from December 26," Tolegen Ospankulov summed up.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/enbek/press/news/details/900720
