In November 2014, President Nazarbayev of Kazakhstan announced an economic policy called “Bright Road,” intended to spur the country’s economic growth by means of large-scale investment.

哈薩克斯坦總統(tǒng)納扎爾巴耶夫在2014年11月發(fā)表的國情咨文中宣布，實行“光明之路”新經(jīng)濟政策，以大規(guī)模的投資計劃促進哈薩克斯坦的經(jīng)濟增長。

The “Bright Road” Initiative plans to spend US$9 billion over a period of three years on transport, logistics, industrial and energy infrastructure, public facilities, water and heating supply, housing, public services, and small and medium enterprises. The huge investment will upgrade Kazakhstan’s transport network and make the country a global transit corridor connecting markets in China, Europe and the Middle East.

“光明之路”計劃在三年之內(nèi)將90億美元分配到運輸物流業(yè)建設、工業(yè)和能源基礎設施建設、公共設施和水熱供應網(wǎng)絡改善、住房和社會基礎設施建設、中小型企業(yè)扶持等方面。“光明之路”的核心在于對運輸和物流基礎設施項目的大規(guī)模投資，目的在于發(fā)展哈薩克斯坦的國內(nèi)運輸網(wǎng)絡，并將哈薩克斯坦打造成連接中國、 歐洲與中東各大市場的全球交通走廊。

Kazakhstan’s decision-makers expect that the initiative will double the freight transported through the country to China, Central Asia, Russia and Europe, to 33 million tons per year. They and their Chinese counterparts agree that the “Bright Road” Initiative and the Belt and Road Initiative are complementary and mutually reinforcing. They have expressed a strong desire to seek a better alignment of the two, and practical measures are being taken in this regard.

哈薩克斯坦決策者預計“光明之路”的實施將使沿中國、中亞、俄羅斯和歐洲線路運輸?shù)呢涍\量翻一番，達到每年3300萬噸。中哈兩國領導人多次指出，“光明之路”與“一帶一路”有眾多契合點和互補性。雙方表達了戰(zhàn)略對接的強烈意愿，并已采取務實措施。
