Zhanseit Tuimebayev informed that it is planned to create a training center for training specialists of a new formation in the field of agro-industrial complex, a center of working professions in the social sphere, training managers of a new formation.
Noting the importance of the paper-pulp industry, Zhanseit Tuimebayev said that about 300 enterprises operate in the field of paper production.
“Packaging is the face of the goods. The more representative and beautiful it will look for the buyer, the more opportunities he will have to purchase this product.
And quite often the customer buys the goods based on the packaging of the goods, not because of the need to buy this product. Good packaging plays the role of a "5-second commercial". Thus, packaging becomes an effective marketing tool.
 Therefore, government support for these two sectors was important for export capacity building," noted Head of Secretariat.
At the end of the forum, Zhanseit Tuimebayev presented diplomas to managers and representatives of the paper-pulp industry for their outstanding contribution to the development of the industry.
