International Relations

Kazakhstan enjoys stable relationships with all of its neighboring countries. As the only Central Asian republic to share borders with both Russia and China, Kazakhstan holds a position of great geostrategic importance.

• By dismantling its nuclear arsenal, and by its adherence to the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, Kazakhstan has demonstrated its commitment to preventing the spread of nuclear weapons technology.
• With vast oil supplies, Kazakhstan has worked with industry leaders and regional governments to develop a variety of transportation options to make the country a crucial energy supplier to the area.
• By fostering an open society which values religious and cultural tolerance, Kazakhstan acts as an anchor of stability in an often unpredictable region.
