The Kazakhstani capital is busy with the preparations for the biggest international exhibition. The city will receive a new look by the time the country is to host the forum. There are plans for large-scale infrastructure projects that, like the Eiffel Tower in Paris, are destined to become the country’s symbols for many years.

The intention to partake in the project is voiced by many companies worldwide, including world's leading producers. Competition is really high, the Ambassador said. With this, he is convinced that Belarusian companies are able to compete with them and have every chance to partake in the projects. 

In his opinion, the Belarusian product and technologies go in line with the European ones today. Moreover, today's level of cooperation between the two countries makes it much easier for Belarus to set up production and service centers in Kazakhstan, which provides the country a definite margin of superiority in the issue.
