“At the Shanghai Cooperation Organization conference in Tianjin yesterday, I said Kazakhstan supports China's idea to create a Global Organization for Cooperation in AI. Kazakhstan is systematically developing the digital economy and implementing AI. Our nation launched the region's first supercomputer and the AlemAI International Center for Artificial Intelligence this year. We are focused on the Alatau City construction project, which aims to become a national and regional hub for innovation, crypto industry growth, and technology entrepreneurship. Kazakhstan hopes to work closely with Chinese firms. We completely support Kazakhstan's agreement with China State Construction Engineering Corporation. I think construction must start now. Shortly, Alatau City will be designated a separate ecosystem,” said Tokayev.

During the meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, several documents were signed.
