The main focus of the meeting was on the development of Kazakhstan's transport and logistics complex, Orda.kz reports.

Qasym-Jomart Toqayev noted that our country, due to its geographical location, plays a key role in the development of east-west and North-South transit routes. To increase the volume of cargo transportation, active work continues to attract investment from the world's largest companies.

The President expressed interest in further strengthening long-term cooperation with CMA CGM, whose regional headquarters are in Almaty.

At the meeting, special attention was paid to cooperation within the framework of the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route, which attracts investments in the logistics infrastructure of the Aqtau Sea Port and the construction of container ships for ports in the Caspian Sea.
