Kazakhstan is absolutely committed to the regional policy, to having close cooperation with all its immediate neighbors in Central Asia.

The more cooperation we do have here, the better it will be for the interests of Kazakhstan as well as for the interests of other countries of Central Asia.

We have active cooperation, multifaceted ties on so many issues. Here in Central Asia, we hold regular meetings of the heads of states. These meetings are also very much helpful.

This basic policy of enhancing the strategic balance and responding to the challenges must be growing in strength, and there should be a joint or collective response to what is happening outside of the region. In these terms, Central Asia is becoming very much visible, conspicuous on the world map.

We will be doing our best in order to enhance the capabilities of this very much important region.
