“The exhibition is divided into five specialized thematic zones: smart manufacturing, green energy, consumer electronics, services and new energy vehicles”, said Liu Yue, Chief Representative of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade in Kazakhstan. “These zones showcase China’s latest achievements in industrial development, which align with the region’s priorities for economic growth and industrial modernization.
