Kazakhstan, France expand economic and cultural cooperation

France considers Kazakhstan a reliable economic partner and is interested in expanding joint projects and investment. This was stated by French Ambassador to Kazakhstan Sylvain Guiaugué. One example of successful cooperation is Alstom, which manufactures freight and passenger electric locomotives in Astana. Another 50 million euros is provided for the development of service infrastructure. Cultural ties are also growing stronger. In September, the Kazakh translation of historian Marie Favereau’s book on the Golden Horde was presented in the capital. The author spent more than 20 years researching the subject. The book was published with the support of the French Embassy. All these are practical examples of multifaceted cooperation.

«The number of French companies operating in Kazakhstan continues to grow, reflecting strong interest in the country’s economic development. For example, the French company POMA recently signed a contract with Kazakhstan to supply cable cars and related equipment for the Almaty SuperSki project,» noted French Ambassador to Kazakhstan Sylvain Guiaugué.
