He suggested the two countries to further enhance integration of development strategies, deepen cooperation in major areas and expand new areas so as to ensure more achievements in the future.

China welcomes Nazarbayev's attendance at the forum in May, Zhang said, expressing the hope that the two countries can further promote cooperation via the occasion.

Kazakhstan firmly supports China's domestic and international policy and the Belt and Road Initiative, he said.

During his meeting with Kazakh Prime Minister Bakytzhan Sagintayev on Monday, Zhang called on both sides to give full play of the role of the dialogue on production capacity and investment, enhance information communication and policy coordination, and expand economic and trade cooperation.

He encouraged the two sides to forge ahead the signing of the new version of investment protection treaty and strengthen cooperation in areas including financing, agriculture, animal husbandry, connectivity and customs.
