A working meeting was held between the Chairman of the Steering Committee of the Astana Civil Service Hub, Alikhan Baimenov, and the Chairman of the Supreme Judicial Council, Dmitry Malakhov. The meeting was also attended by members of the Supreme Judicial Council, its Secretariat staff, and representatives of the Hub.
