The President of Kazakhstan held a meeting of the Security Council

A meeting of the Security Council of the Republic of Kazakhstan was held under the chairmanship of Head of State Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, at which the strategic risks of realizing the country’s transport and logistics potential were considered.
