28.09.2023 International photo exhibition “One Zone – One Road”.
The Central State Museum of the Republic of Kazakhstan, within the long-term cooperation with the Consulate General of the People's Republic of China in Almaty with the support of CNPC Central Asia and Russia, on September 28, 2023 at 16.00, opens an International photo exhibition dedicated to the 10th anniversary of the Initiative “One Zone – One Road”.
It is the largest project in China and could become the largest global infrastructure project ever. The word “path” is no coincidence, since the concept is being developed under the slogan of the new Silk Road. The program is aimed at developing infrastructure, creating new transport corridors and increasing the capacity of existing projects.
Over the 10 years since the launch of the initiative “One Zone - One Road”, China has signed more than 200 cooperation documents on the joint construction of the “One Zone - One Road” with more than 150 countries and more than 30 international organizations, formed more than 3,000 cooperation projects, created 420 000 jobs for countries along the route, lifted nearly 40 million people out of poverty and created one after another "national landmarks", "people's welfare projects" and "monuments of cooperation".
Kazakhstan has a particularly important status, as it is the first place where the proclamation of the joint construction of the initiative “One Zone – One Road” was launched. The “One Belt – One Road” initiative is deeply integrated with Kazakhstan’s New Economic Policy “Nurly Zhol”. China and Kazakhstan have achieved significant cooperation results in the fields of political coordination, infrastructure connectivity, unhindered trade, free movement of capital and strengthening the closeness between peoples, and have also become a successful model and practical guide for promoting international cooperation within the Initiative “One Zone - One Road”.
The exhibition presents about 80 photographs reflecting the economic and cultural connection between Kazakhstan and China: projects in the energy sector, oil and gas industry, information technology, development of the transport corridor, banking industry, as well as in the field of culture and art.
The exhibition will introduce visitors to the path traveled, experience and successes of the PRC over the past 10 years as part of the implementation of the initiative “One Zone – One Road”.
The exhibition will run until October 12, 2023.
