The event attracted many residents by showcasing products from North Kazakhstan, including honey, soap, snacks, alcoholic beverages, and biscuits.

During the signing ceremony, six enterprises and government representatives from the North Kazakhstan Region signed cooperation memorandums with seven Shaanxi companies, including Aiju Group. The agreements cover logistics, food, meat, power facilities, and agricultural machinery sectors.

Aiju Group's deputy general manager, Liu Dongmeng, highlighted the company's nine-year partnership with Kazakhstan, noting the establishment of a 1 million metric ton agricultural processing and logistics base in the North Kazakhstan Region. The new center will introduce more Kazakhstani products to Xi'an and provide high-quality goods to local consumers.

The partnership between Aiju Group and Kazakhstan began in March 2016, when a China-Europe Chang'an freight train arrived, carrying 2,000 tons of Kazakhstani oil. This marked the first large-scale export of Kazakhstani goods to China.

The Kazakhstan Xi'an Terminal project was launched in February, the first Kazakhstani railway logistics investment in China. This project will enhance the distribution of goods between China and Kazakhstan. Additionally, the Almaty China-Kazakhstan Logistics Station project will be operational by the end of the year, further upgrading the logistics corridor between the two regions and promoting deeper cooperation.

Aiju Group aims to use the new commodity center to expand trade and cooperation with the North Kazakhstan Region and establish itself as a central hub for Kazakhstani grain and food products.
