Abstract

The Silk Road Economic Belt initiative has won support from both Chinese and Kazakhstan leaders. During Chinese President Xi Jinping’s state visit to Kazakhstan, he said it is a miracle that it only took a decade for Astana to evolve into a modern city. Two thousand years ago, envoys of peace and friendship from China’s Han Dynasty visited Kazakhstan twice, explored the route of the Silk Road, which spanned from the East to the West and from Asia to Europe. As we all know, the ancient Silk Road started from China’s Shaanxi Province, which is also President Xi’s hometown. As a news agency of Kazakhstan, Kazinform International News Agency will make every endeavor to introduce new technologies, tourist attractions and commercial programs to people in China and Kazakhstan. For instance, a special column has been set up to explain the Silk Road initiative to our readers. Nowadays, the media can play a larger role by making full use of the Internet. Here, I propose to post Chinese advertisements on the website of Kazinform to promote bilateral economic cooperation. Kazinform International News Agency will try our best to provide Chinese businessmen with comprehensive commodity information, make it easy for them to carry out marketing activities in Kazakhstan and in other Central Asian countries.
