Both projects are the part of the accelerated industrial and innovative development programme.
The Zhetygen-Korgas railroad will both increase travel between Kazakhstan and China and become a transportation corridor between Europe and Asia. The length of the railroad is 293 kilometres. The road will have 14 new operation points, including the Altykol station. The construction of the railway station, the administrative building and the hotel will be finished together with the railroad. The map of Kazakhstan will see another residential area. The village, which still does not have a name is designed for the staff of the railroad.
The Kazakhstan Railways Company will be responsible for the construction of the Khorgos International Centre of Frontier Cooperation. The state will be financing the construction of 113 main facilities. Investors will inject money into the construction of hotels, trade and leisure centres. In the near future the International Centre of Frontier Cooperation will turn into a real city.
