Honorary Consul of the Republic of Singapore to Kazakhstan Talgat Chinikeyev noted that diplomatic relations between Singapore and Kazakhstan have been going on for more than 30 years. Today, more than 100 Singaporean companies are successfully operating in Kazakhstan. One of the major projects is Alatau City, located between Almaty and Konayev city. This project was developed by Singaporean businessmen.

Talgat Chinikeyev also noted that "The purpose of the work of the honorary consulate is, firstly, to protect the rights of Singapore citizens themselves who work in Kazakhstan, come and rest. The honorary consulate also issues visas for citizens of Kazakhstan, and not only Kazakhstan, even its neighbors. Almaty is considered a city of business and tourism, and more citizens of Singapore live here."
