BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 17. President of
Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has received Deputy Prime Minister

This is reflected in an official statement issued by the press

"During the international presentation, 20 events and meetings

According to the Deputy Prime Minister, investment opportunities
for Alatau City were presented during high-level meetings with the

state emphasized the critical importance of shaping a sustainable

funding for the city's infrastructure.
Furthermore, the briefing covered strategic water resource
management and critical utility updates under the national project
"Modernization of the Energy and Utilities Sectors." Bozumbayev
noted that a record-breaking 1.1 trillion tenge ($2.2 billion),

years.
In response, Tokayev directed the government to ensure the
maximum involvement of domestic manufacturers in these energy
projects and ordered strict oversight of the ongoing agricultural
vegetative period, particularly in Kazakhstan's southern
regions.
