‘I’m happy that EXANTE is Partner to such a grand event’, said Guntars Pupelis, EXANTE Sales Director Europe and CIS, in his opening speech. ‘Kazakhstan has become another motherland to me whereas Almaty remains a city I would visit over and over again. On this lovely spring day, it’s a great pleasure to attend the tournament - amateur by status, yet highly professional by nature’.
