The governor of Almaty met with ambassadors of Germany and Greece

Despite the crisis in the global economy over the 9 months of last year, the trade turnover between Almaty and Germany increased by 45% compared with the same period of the previous year. There are 254 companies with German capital in the city.

An example of fruitful cooperation was the launch of the Kazakh-German-Hong Kong plant "Falcon Eurabus" for the assembly of third-generation electric buses with the first car park in the region with 300 seats.

According to German Ambassador Tilo Klinner, the annual business forum “Day of the German Economy in Kazakhstan” also contributes to strengthening business ties. Cultural and educational exchange is actively developing thanks to the Kazakh-German University, the German Academic Exchange Service DAAD, and the only German drama theater in the CIS.

In turn, the head of the diplomatic mission of Greece in Kazakhstan Alexandros Katranis noted that Almaty’s becoming an increasingly interesting tourist destination of the region. A promising area for cooperation is the exchange of experience in the technological development of cities.
