On July 3, 2008 in a solemn environment the Shymkent City Akim, A.Zhetpisbayev, on behalf of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, presented a jubilee medal “10 Zhyl Astana” to the Vice-President of PKOP TOO, Mr. Jiang Shi. Such a reward was also given to some representatives of the industry, business and governmental institutions of the country. It seems that this honorary reward from the Head of the State was meant to appreciate not only personal achievements of the management, but also the overall successful performance of PetroKazakhstan Company.
