Kazakhstan Strengthens OSCE Efforts for Afghanistan
Based on a report given by Kanat Saudabayev at the London Conference on Afghanistan in January 2010, the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office, Foreign Minister and Kazakhstan Secretary of State, the nation would take on an active role in advancing OSCE programs to intensify the landlocked nation’s borders, improve law enforcement activities, as well as build support.
Since 2003, Afghanistan has been an OSCE Partner for Cooperation. However, it was only in 2007 that the foreign ministers of the 56 OSCE States came to an accord in strengthening the organization’s endeavors with the country.
The involvement of OSCE (the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe) with Afghanistan was a main concern of Kazakhstan’s 2010 Chairmanship, according to Saudabayev. Three OSCE contributing Central Asian States are bordered by Afghanistan and its security conditions are connected to the region’s security, as well as to the security within the OSCE location.
Saudabayev further stressed the necessity to engage in such efforts and discover similar methods in dealing with the country’s current status.
Kazakhstan, as the chair of the organization, is focused on promoting the safety and stability of Afghanistan by means of practical political discourse, encouraging trade and investment in its economy, while also offering support for humanitarian and cultural cooperation as it proffers assistance in a variety of fields.
