First of all, this isthe most useful and important kind of event, where we talk about the young students and journalists, trying to explain them how actually the PR works. I am glad that I can talk with so many people and I am really impressed. Also, I am really grateful for all partners of the autumn PR school and I actually supporting them. I think its great way». But Mr. Sameks opinion is the opposite of this: «Well, I don’t think so. Because Kazakhstan is great in public relations. For example, you have seen EXPO 2017 or Universiade 2017, all such events are great PR for Almaty, Astana and for all country».
