"We have big tasks for further diversification, improvement of infrastructure, increase of productivity. Unfortunately, we have to declare we are still at the beginning of the way. Therefore, there is a lot of work, we need to expand everything that we talked about today, in all the directions, ” said N. Nazarbayev during a teleconference launching industrial, innovative and infrastructure projects.
He added that the industrial program has become one of the key factors for creating a sustainable, differentiated economy, which will not be sensitive to fluctuations in the world market conditions.
“This is confirmed by certain development results, especially in the manufacturing industry, which we did not have. We were an extractive republic in Soviet times, but not a manufacturing one, we processed it elsewhere, and we earned money elsewhere, but not in our country," he said.
A number of industrial, infrastructure, agricultural and digital projects in various industries have been launched online.
