Now, Korea and Kazakhstan are moving beyond simple exchange and cooperation toward shared growth and a concrete vision for the future. A symbolic example of this is the Alatau City project, a national initiative of the Kazakh government in which Koryo-saram entrepreneurs, led by Caspian Group founder Yuriy Tskhay, play a central role. Caspian Korea, a Korean affiliate of Kazakhstan Caspian Group, facilitates Korean investment and collaboration, bringing IT, infrastructure, and K-culture to Central Asia.

To commemorate the history of Koryo-saram in Kazakhstan, Caspian Group is building K-Park, a Korean-Kazakh cultural hub, set to open in 2027 in Alatau City. As a result, Alatau City will offer Korean companies a foothold in Eurasia while serving as an international platform for future generations of Koreans and Kazakhs.

This project embodies the vision of Koryo-saram descendants to create a “Second Silk Road,” linking Eurasia through commerce, innovation, and culture.
