ASTANA, April 18 (Xinhua) -- Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev said here on Tuesday that he looks forward to attending the Belt and Road Forum to be held in Beijing on May 14-15 and having in-depth discussions with China on the integration of development strategies.
Nazarbayev made the remarks when meeting with visiting Chinese Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli on Tuesday in Astana, capital of the Central Asian country.
Nazarbayev said he was very glad to be invited by Chinese President Xi Jinping to attend the Belt and Road Forum in Beijing and that he will discuss with Xi detailed plans to integrate Kazakhstan's development strategies with China.
Xi will attend the opening ceremony of the forum and host a round-table leaders' summit, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Tuesday in Beijing at a press conference.
At least 28 heads of state and government confirmed attendance at the forum, said Wang, the highest-profile international meeting on the Belt and Road since Xi put forward the initiative in 2017 during a speech in Astana.
The initiative aims to build a trade and infrastructure network connecting Asia with Europe and Africa along the ancient Silk Road trading routes, leading to mutually beneficial economic outcomes for every nation it reaches.
Zhang, who arrived in Astana on Monday night for a three-day visit, said that his visit is aimed to forge ahead the implementation of the previous consensus reached by both presidents, and prepare for the meetings between Xi and Nazarbayev in 2017.
