Currently, as part of the instructions of the Head of State, a specially created working group consisting of representatives of the Prosecutor General's Office, the Financial Monitoring Agency and the Ministry of Finance is conducting an inspection at the Kazakh-Chinese border.

It operates the largest dry port in Central Asia, KTZE-Khorgos Gateway, and also owns Class A KIF Warehouses.
