Shanghai, June 26, 2026
An exhibition showcasing the rich cultural heritage of the Kazakh people officially opened today at the Shanghai History Museum.
The exhibition is organized by the Almaty Museum Association with the support of the Consulate General of the Republic of Kazakhstan in Shanghai, the Akimat of Almaty, and the Shanghai Municipal People's Government. Initiatives of this kind form an important part of Kazakhstan's cultural diplomacy and its ongoing efforts to promote it's historical and cultural heritage on the international stage.
The exhibition is being held at the Shanghai History Museum, one of China's leading museum institutions, which welcomes hundreds of thousands of visitors from around the world each year. Through a carefully curated collection of unique museum artifacts, the exhibition offers visitors an opportunity to explore Kazakhstan's centuries-old traditions, spiritual values, and distinctive cultural identity, highlighting the enduring legacy of the Great Steppe.
The exhibition was made possible following the establishment of sister-city relations between Almaty and Shanghai in June 2025. An important milestone in strengthening bilateral cooperation was the official visit of Almaty Akim Darkhan Satybaldy to Shanghai in November 2025, followed by the reciprocal visit of Shanghai Mayor Gong Zheng to Almaty in April 2026.
Building on this momentum, the Almaty Museum Association and the Shanghai History Museum signed a Memorandum of Cooperation, under which this exhibition was organized. The exhibition stands as another symbol of the growing cultural dialogue and partnership between Kazakhstan and China.
This exhibition represents a tangible step toward strengthening friendship and cultural exchange between the two metropolitan cities. It provides Chinese audiences with an opportunity to gain deeper insight into Kazakhstan's rich history, cultural traditions, and national heritage.
The exhibition features approximately 100 unique artifacts from the collections of Almaty's museums, showcasing the rich historical and ethnographic heritage of the Kazakh people. In recent years, collections from the Almaty Museum Association have been exhibited in numerous cities across Europe and Asia, further expanding international cultural cooperation.
The opening ceremony was attended by representatives of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of the P.R.China, the Shanghai Foreign Affairs Office, the Shanghai Municipal Administration of Culture and Tourism, members of the diplomatic corps, as well as residents and visitors of Shanghai.
The exhibition will remain open to the public until August 30, 2026.
On April 9, 2026, a ceremony was held in Shanghai to mark the launch of a new direct air service on the Almaty–Shanghai route, organized by Kazakhstan's national airline. The introduction of this flight will provide an additional boost to the development of bilateral cooperation, particularly in the economic sphere between the Republic of Kazakhstan and the People's Republic of China.
The event was attended by Nurlan Akkoshkarov, Consul General of the Republic of Kazakhstan in Shanghai. In his remarks, he pointed out that the opening of the direct Almaty–Shanghai flight is a strategically significant move aimed at deepening bilateral interaction, expanding trade, economic, and investment cooperation, and further promoting people-to-people and cultural exchanges between the two countries.
Holding the ceremony during the visit of Shanghai Mayor Gong Zheng to Kazakhstan from April 7–10 of this year was a symbolic step in strengthening the sister-city ties between Almaty and Shanghai, which were established in June 2025.
The launch of the new route was attended by the management of Air Astana, representatives of the Shanghai Foreign Affairs Office, as well as heads of government agencies and business circles of the metropolis, underscoring the high level of interest among the parties in the further development of regional cooperation.
The launch of the new flight by Air Astana meets the growing demand for direct air travel and helps improve Kazakhstan's transport accessibility. The opening of another route will give additional momentum to the development of the strategic partnership between the Republic of Kazakhstan and the People's Republic of China, and will also serve as an additional driver for further activating interregional cooperation and bilateral relations.
Furthermore, this strengthens Kazakhstan's role as a key transit hub connecting China with Central Asia, the Caucasus, the Middle East, and Europe.

In this context, Kazakhstan is interested in deepening cooperation within the framework of the implementation of the One Belt, One Road initiative. Olzhas Bektenov noted that the globally important project together with the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route, running through the territory of Kazakhstan, can unlock the potential of the North-South and East-West corridors.

The project will increase the capacity of the port of Aktau on container TFE transshipment up to 300 thousand TEU per year.
