ASTANA, Kazakhstan, April 14. Kazakhstan’s
Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov has instructed the acceleration of
the modernization of the port infrastructure in Aktau and Kuryk
ports, Trend reports
via the press service of the Kazakh government.
“The Trans-Caspian International Transport Route is one of the
most rapidly developing corridors, and it is essential to expedite
the modernization of the port infrastructure at both Aktau and
Kuryk,” Bektenov emphasized.
He further highlighted the significant strategic tasks facing
the road sector, particularly those aimed at enhancing regional
transport connectivity. Bektenov stated that this year’s agenda
includes large-scale construction and repair work covering 11,000
km of highways.
“In the transport sector, positive dynamics are evident, with
key performance indicators reflecting growth. However, it is

network. The completion of the construction and modernization of
approved projects must be ensured by the end of this year,” he
added.

of preparations for various upcoming projects, specifically noting
delays in the documentation process for road projects intended to
be financed under state guarantees.
