Dear colleagues, partners and friends,
I invite you to take part in the III Eurasian Financial and Economic Forum “Khorgos” — an international platform bringing together representatives of the financial sector, business, public institutions and the international expert community.
Khorgos is becoming one of the key centers of economic cooperation along the Great Silk Road, opening new opportunities for investment, trade, digital technologies and international partnerships. A new cooperation agenda is taking shape here, based on innovation, trust and mutually beneficial development.
The forum offers opportunities for professional dialogue, finding new partners, presenting promising projects and discussing strategic priorities for regional financial and economic integration.
We invite investors, financial institutions, technology companies and organizations interested in the economic development of the Eurasian region to cooperate. I am confident that, together, we can create new opportunities for sustainable growth and prosperity in our countries.
I look forward to welcoming you as participants and partners of the forum.
Yours sincerely, Bakhytbek Rymbekovich Baiseitov
