Road” initiative with Kazakhstan’s “NyrlyZhol” plan. Therefore, grasping accurately Kazakhstan’s recent industry investment environment is not only helpful for Kazakhstan to attract foreign capitals and accelerate the transformation of economic structures and the processes of industrialization, but also has a practical significance for Chinese enterprises in carrying out industrial investment.
