The Chairman of the Board - Rector of Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, Zhanseit Tuimebayev noted that the joint Kazakh-Chinese laboratory will help to solve urgent environmental problems.

The new center monitors environmental problems in the Central Asian region, such as water shortages, drought, and land degradation caused by climate change. Remote sensing technology ensures environmental security and sustainable development by warning of natural hazards in the region through remote monitoring. This, in turn, will create an international high-tech platform in resource research for Kazakhstan, China, and Central Asia.

Dean of the Faculty of Geography and Nature Management Aliya Aktymbaeva told the guests of honor about the work of the center and familiarized them with the equipment of the laboratory.

In conclusion, the guests of honor wished the scientists success in their research work.
