Kazakhstan: President Nazarbayev
built 644 days ago
Kazakhstan has already declared a high level of interest in developing its strategic partnership with China, which was reflected in its new military doctrine in April 2007. The military doctrine attaches importance to Kazakhstan’s bilateral security relations with Russia and China, and mentions enhancing these relations with the latter ... through the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (the military doctrine places much further down the list, Kazakhstan’s cooperation with the U.S. and NATO). Nazarbayev has political and economic reasons for attempting to strengthen Kazakhstan’s military and security ties with Beijing, stemming from trade, transportation and energy ties with China.

Pro-presidential forces have long viewed the Soros Foundation and other international organizations operating in Kazakhstan as alien, hostile elements bent on destabilizing the country and assisting the opposition to topple the existing regime. However, Tokayev's direct and somewhat undiplomatic verbal clash with Soros is the first open manifestation of this intolerance. Although the target of the foreign minister's bold demarche at an international conference was George Soros, the words were obviously meant to demonstrate to the West Kazakhstan's independent stance on issues of democracy and civic society.
