Astana is emblem of great progress and way which Kazakhstan passed over 19 years - International Herald Tribune

"Investors are interested in investment opportunities, but they also need the country's stability. Kazakhstan has significant mineral resources and this attracts foreign investments. We note development of mineral resources as well as infrastructural projects which bring new investments", Stephen Dunbar-Johnson noted.

"When I came to Kazakhstan for the first time I knew very little about this country, but every time when I'm here I'm impressed by the progress and dynamism which is observed here. I also clearly remember my first visit to Astana. It seemed to me that this is an ambitious plan - to create a capital of a new state in the middle of the steppe. But every time when I came to Astana, I was fascinated by how the new city rose from the steppes. Astana is an emblem of the enormous progress and way which Kazakhstan passed over 19 years", the well-known publisher said.
