The Kazakhstan Embassy in the Republic of Korea said that the event was hosted by the Korea Importers Association (KOIMA), with support from South Korea's Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA). More than 200 companies from 40 countries across Europe, Asia, and Africa participated.
Kazakhstan's booth featured services from national carriers Air Astana and Scat Airlines, along with consumer goods such as Maximus products and chocolate by Lotte Rakhat. The booth attracted several hundred visitors, and a number of South Korean companies expressed interest in possible cooperation with Kazakh businesses.
In her opening remarks, KOIMA Chairperson Youn Young-mi stressed the importance of expanding imports from friendly countries. "This exhibition gives foreign companies a unique opportunity to present their products in Korea and connect with potential partners," she said.
Kazakhstan's Ambassador to South Korea Nurgali Arystanov toured the exhibition alongside Youn and National Assembly member Seo Il-jun. The three visited the Kazakh display and exchanged views on expanding bilateral trade.
In 2024, trade volume between Kazakhstan and South Korea reached 3.1 billion US dollars, making South Korea one of Kazakhstan's top ten trading partners.
