Kairat Boranbayev, President of the National Paralympic Committee of Kazakhstan, praised the partnership, saying, "Signing the memorandum with the Chery brand is a significant step towards the development of the Paralympic movement in Kazakhstan. This partnership will help our athletes achieve new successes and continue to promote inclusive projects, creating better conditions for people with disabilities."

    Prominent para-athletes also attended the signing ceremony, inspiring everyone with their stories and achievements. Their presence underscored the joint commitment of Chery and the National Paralympic Committee of the Republic of Kazakhstan to advancing para-sports. Beknur Nessipbayev, General Director of KMC Astana Motors, said, "Paralympic athletes always represent our republic with dignity on the international stage, making all Kazakhstanis proud. Now is our time to follow your successes, take pride in you, and support the Paralympic movement in Kazakhstan. We hope that our collaboration will be beneficial for Kazakhstani Paralympians."

    Since entering the Kazakhstan market less than three years ago, Chery has rapidly risen to become a leading Chinese automotive brand, ranking fourth in Kazakhstan's auto market. Its dealer network covers 15 Kazakhstan cities and offers a full product lineup, including the TIGGO crossover series and the Arrizo 8 sedan. This partnership with the National Paralympic Committee of the Republic of Kazakhstan reflects Chery's respect for the spirit of sports and commitment to social responsibility. It is also a vital part of its global ESG strategy.

    Looking ahead, Chery will embed ESG principles into every facet of its development, working alongside global partners to explore sustainable growth pathways.
