The international port in Aktau is an important project as its share in the total freights turnover of the Caspian Sea makes 29 percent. "To expand Aktau port, we are gradually implementing the project of its northward expansion and construction of three dry-cargo terminals," the Vice-Minister said. Bekturov added that the Ministry would continue working on the Western Europe-Western China project in 2013. The authority also planed to reconstruct Taraz and Taldykorgan airports. New railroads would connect Central Kazakhstan with Western and North-Western Kazakhstan. Earlier Kazakhstan Transport and Communications Minister Askar Zhumagaliyev said that 9 thousand kilometers of general roads would be repaired in Kazakhstan in 2013. Besides, works would start on construction of up-to-date roads from Astana to Aktau, Almaty and Ust-Kamenogorsk. By Dmitriy Khegai
