China has expanded its economic partnership with Kazakhstan by signing 33 deals worth 23.6 billion dollars, covering distinct areas ranging from hydropower to steel.
The agreements were reached after Kazakhstan Prime Minister Karim Masimov paid a visit to China and held a meeting with Chinese premier Li Keqiang on Friday.
