Kazakhstan\u2014a founding member of the CAREC Program\u2014embraces cooperation with its neighbors to promote economic development and prosperity.<\/p>\n
Since 1997, Kazakhstan has worked with other CAREC member countries to overcome barriers to growth and connectivity, and to place the region at the heart of Eurasia\u2019s trade and commerce as global markets increasingly integrate.<\/p>\n
In 2000, the program began to rebuild the road between the commercial city of Almaty and the Kyrgyz Republic capital of Bishkek. The route became an integral part of CAREC Corridor 1, one of the six CAREC corridors that form the modern version of the Silk Road. These corridors traverse the People\u2019s Republic of China to the Caucasus, and farther west to Europe, and from north Kazakhstan to the ports of Pakistan.<\/p>\n
