As many of the other countries MP International Solutions works in, it is part of the old Silk Road. In 1731, Kazakhstan has joined the Russian Empire voluntarily and they have strengthened this union and preserved the amicable relationship to Russia until today.   

Kazakhstan is a poly-confessional country with more than 3000 regional associations and 40 confessions representing almost all world religions, however, it is dominated by the Islam like the rest of the other Central Asian countries. All these pre-conditions make Kazakhstan a tolerant country where people of different nationalities and religions are living peacefully next to each other.

The traditional Eastern way of doing business is partly peppered with a Western European approach. To understand the very smart mix of Asian, European and international business models in Kazakhstan, one needs years.
