The NRICH entered into a Joint Academic Research Project with the National Museum of the Republic Kazakhstan in 2016 to inquire into ancient cultural exchanges in Eurasia, and has been conducting investigations and researches on the Central Asian Silk Road unitedly ever since.

The Katartobe ？ Zhetisu Necropolis of the Saka Elite contains the discoveries regarding the tomb cultures of the ancient nomads in Eurasia from the signing of the agreement until 2018. Based on the Ancient Tombs in Zhetisu Kazakhstan, which was co-published in Korean last year, the content was restructured and translated into Russian.

It includes archaeological discoveries of the early iron age Kurgans in Kazakhstan and various interdisciplinary, natural scientific research outcomes. As per Russian translation, distributed to national research institutions and libraries in Central Asian countries including Kazakhstan, this book will promote the joint research outcomes of both nations and serve as basic material for research.

The event was held online, within the library of the National Museum of the Republic Kazakhstan, Nursultan and the main conference room of the National Research Institute of Cultural Heritage, and the actual book was handed over by the Korean Embassy in Kazakhstan.

In addition, the Research institute of Cultural Heritage of the Cultural Heritage Administration, as an executive agency, decided to extend the existing agreement with the National Museum of the Republic Kazakhstan for 5 more years to consolidated the cooperative relationship in the Post-COVID19 period. Both institution will continue the research and studies to shed light on the exchange structure of the Eurasian cultures based on this extension.
