Kazakh companies signed agreements worth about $100 million on the first day of the 9th China International Import Expo (CIIE) in Shanghai. Around 40 Kazakh producers are taking part in the national pavilion.

Kazakhstan’s Minister of Trade and Integration, Arman Shakkaliyev, is attending the expo. He visited the Kazakh exhibition, took part in the Hongqiao International Economic Forum and held meetings on boosting exports, attracting investment and expanding trade and logistics cooperation with China.

The pavilion features Kazakh-made food products, including vegetable oils and fats, flour, confectionery and dairy products, beverages and other goods. CIIE brings together thousands of companies from more than 160 countries and regions each year.

Bilateral trade between Kazakhstan and China reached $48.7 billion in 2025, up 11%. Trade totalled $43.3 billion in the first nine months of 2026, an increase of 21.9%.

Shakkaliyev met with the head of the administration of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China. They discussed cooperation under the Hub-to-Hub initiative, which aims to develop connected trade and logistics centres, as well as ways to use Kazakhstan’s transit potential and expand transport routes.

Talks with Chinese businesses covered localising high-tech production in Kazakhstan, developing robotics, building logistics complexes and warehouses, and attracting investment in commercial real estate. The expo runs until November 10.
