Wuhan is one of China's key transport and logistics hubs, known as the "crossroads of nine provinces".The representation in Wuhan becomes part of Kazakhstan's already forming network of presence in China. To date, QazTrade partnership offices operate in a number of key cities such as Hefei, Xi'an, Changsha, Nanjing, Tianjin, Chengdu, and Qingdao.

АКИМАТ ШЫМКЕНТА ВЫИГРАЛ СУД: СТРАТЕГИЧЕСКИЕ ВОДНЫЕ ОБЪЕКТЫ ВЕРНУТЫ В ГОССОБСТВЕННОСТЬ.Это не просто судебный спор — это была принципиальная борьба… Сегодня суд поставил точку в одном из самых сложных дел последних лет: договоры, заключённые в 1997–1998 годах по приватизации объектов водоснабжения Шымкента, признаны недействительными. Шесть стратегических объектов подлежат возврату в государственную собственность. За этим решением стоит не только юридический процесс, но и годичная, последовательная и упорная борьба. Процесс пытались системно затянуть. По инициативе ТОО «Водные ресурсы и маркетинг» разбирательство уводилось в сторону с помощью «экспертиз», не имеющих отношения к сути спора. Апелляционная стадия затянулась почти на год. В такие моменты всегда возникает главный вопрос: способен ли закон выдержать давление? — Выдержал. Судьи приняли решение не в пользу бизнеса или частных интересов, а в пользу закона и государства. Это — принципиальная позиция. Нами были доказаны нарушения законодательства на каждом этапе приватизации. В этом деле, где цена решения была особенно высокой, выражаем особое уважение судье Д. М. Конысбаевой за проявленные профессионализм и независимость. Но это ещё не конец. Теперь начинается самый важный этап — фактический процесс возврата объектов. И здесь также возможны попытки обойти закон или затянуть процесс. Не допустить этого — наша задача. Потому что речь идёт не просто об имуществе. Это вопрос контроля над стратегическим ресурсом целого города. Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/shymkent-energetika-kommunal/press/news/details/1192921?lang=kk
