As a Chinese enterprise deeply involved in green industry cooperation along the Belt and Road, CCSP has been closely following industrial development opportunities in Central Asia in recent years, actively promoting international cooperation in areas such as environmental protection equipment, engineering services, circular economy, and new energy support systems. Chairman Yuan Zhizhou, invited to the conference, focused on exchanging views on green industrial park development, export of green equipment, engineering project cooperation, and comprehensive resource utilization. He held face-to-face discussions with representatives of several Kazakh companies and relevant institutions, reaching preliminary cooperation intentions. All parties agreed that China and Kazakhstan have strong industrial complementarities and vast cooperation potential, and that future efforts should further strengthen alignment in project implementation, technical collaboration, market development, and resource integration.

By contributing to local industrial upgrading and green, low-carbon development, CCSP is committed to playing its role in driving high-quality economic and trade cooperation between China and Kazakhstan.
