Growing friendship provides food for thought

While energy remains the core of cooperation between China and Kazakhstan, the two nations have also cultivated agricultural links in recent years.

In a field near the western foot of Tianshan Mountain, which forms a natural border between the countries, wheat is being grown from Chinese seeds on 200 hectares of land.

Yangling Modern Agriculture Demonstration Park Development and Construction, a company in Shaanxi province, has been using the land to test crops since 2015, when it entered into a strategic cooperation partnership with the Kazakhstan International Integration Foundation.
