Kazakh Ambassador to China Shakhrat Nuryshev briefed attendees about the Kazakhstan Tourism Year in China and the latest developments in China-Kazakhstan cooperation at a press conference on April 19.

Within the framework of the Tourism Year, Kazakhstan and its Chinese partners plan to host over 35 different events across various provinces and cities in China. 

These events include tourism roadshows in Kazakh provinces and cities, blogger and media representative tours, forums and concerts, as well as participation in major international tourism events held in China.

The ambassador discussed cultural and humanitarian cooperation between Kazakhstan and China, noting that the government-to-government agreement signed in November 2023 regarding the establishment of cultural centers injects new momentum into cultural cooperation between the two countries.

This agreement is a historic event as it marks Kazakhstan's first-ever establishment of a cultural center abroad.

In addition, cooperation in higher education has also been fruitful, as seen from the joint programs offered by universities in both countries.
