The deal will help produce high quality, competitive graduates that will strengthen the financial and corporate law workforce in the country and helps make Kazakhstan more attractive to international investors. I am proud that my alma mater, along with AIFC, is paving the way for more British and international investors to come and do business in Kazakhstan, knowing that their rights will be protected according to the highest legal standards.”

Lord Mance, President of the AIFC, commented: “I am pleased that the AIFC and IAC have signed a new cooperation agreement with Narxoz University. One of the objectives of the AIFC and IAC is to communicate and make transparent its existence, characteristics and availability for the benefit of everyone inside and outside Kazakhstan, thereby raising awareness, fulfilling their protection tasks and facilitating the promotion of the rule of law in the field of commerce. Thus, the AIFC and the IAC are open to non-exclusive and mutually beneficial programs of cooperation with educational and other institutions inside and outside Kazakhstan under conditions fully compatible with its independence as institutions for the settlement of commercial disputes. ”
