Guodong Group Signs Strategic Cooperation Agreement with TransTeleCom
Mr. Lu Jie, Chairman and President of Guodong Group, attended the meeting as a representative of Chinese high-tech enterprises. Witnessed by President Tokayev and other senior officials from both countries, he completed the on-site signing with TransTeleCom Company.

This signing project is one of Guodong Group's series of cooperation initiatives in Kazakhstan. It marks the first time a leading private communication infrastructure enterprise from China has participated in the construction of backbone communication networks in a Central Asian country, serving as a vivid example of China and Kazakhstan advancing infrastructure connectivity under the Belt and Road Initiative and building a China-Kazakhstan Community with a Shared Future.
At present, Guodong Group has established a systematic cooperation matrix in Kazakhstan. The successful implementation of the Group's series of projects in the country signifies that Guodong has become Kazakhstan's preferred private-sector partner in the field of digital infrastructure.
