Swiss companies are interested in cooperating with Kazakhstan in the fields of transport and logistics.
This was reported to Trend by the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO).
The SECO spokesperson noted that Kazakhstan plays a central role in the development of the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route (Middle Corridor). This creates new opportunities for cooperation in the field of transport and logistics. Swiss companies with many years of experience in this field are ready to contribute to the development of cooperation.
‘In the railway sector, Switzerland welcomes the partnership between Stadler Rail and Kazakhstan Railways for the supply of modern trains and the creation of a service centre in Astana,’ the representative said.
The secretariat emphasised that Switzerland and Kazakhstan maintain strong and dynamic bilateral relations. Kazakhstan is Switzerland’s most important economic partner in Central Asia. Swiss companies view the country as a promising growth market thanks to its strategic location between Europe and the Far East, its natural resources and rapid infrastructure development.
“Swiss businesses value a stable and predictable investment environment, including legal certainty, intellectual property protection and data security. The recent steps taken by the Kazakh government in these areas are viewed very positively in Switzerland.
