"The press centre has been established primarily for journalists and we will take it into consideration in the process of work," the head of the press centre Aleksey Sorokin said.

The agency has a broad network of correspondents in Kazakhstan and the Central Asia countries, the editor-in-chief of news agency Irina Pilguk noted. "Central Asia countries have a great interest towards the information placed on KZ-today site," she marked.

"Establishment of its own press centre positions Kazakhstan today as a rather serious mass media, which dose not yield to leading news and information agencies of Kazakhstan," Timur Kuvatov stressed.
