Askar Umarov met with representatives of Paramount

Today, the Minister of Information and Social Development of the Republic of Kazakhstan Askar Umarov met with representatives of Paramount on the development of children's and youth content.

The parties discussed prospects for developing cooperation on increasing children's content in the state language, as well as cooperation with local animation studios.
