Kazakhstan, the Netherlands likely to establish joint logistics university

Director general of Kazlogistics Yerkhat Iskaliyev announced at the 1st session of the Kazakh-Dutch Business Council in Astana that the Kazakh side had suggested the Netherlands establishing a joint logistics university. "We know that Dutch colleagues together with Kazakh-British Technical University (KBTU) set up a navy academy and that the corresponding contract was signed. We, in turn, suggested joining forces to establish a logistics university. Currently, we work together with our British and German partners, but are ready to eye possible cooperation with the Netherlands," Mr. Iskaliyev noted. He also suggested forming a joint working group for transit and logistics within the framework of the Kazakh-Dutch Business Council. "The analogous working groups were set up with our Chinese and German colleagues. We propose to form the Kazakh-Dutch working group as well," Mr. Iskaliyev said.
