Chairmanship in OSCE perceived in our country as value of national scale - N.Nazarbayev
ASTANA. January 14. KAZINFORM /Muratbek Makulbekov/ Chairmanship in the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) is perceived in our country not only as a foreign policy success, but as a value of the national scale. Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbayev has made it public in his address at the inaugural meeting of the OSCE Permanent Council in Vienna.
"In accordance with the OSCE traditions, we announce a motto of the acting chairmanship, which symbolizes identification of the chair-country. The motto of the Kazakh chairmanship will be four 'T' - Trust, Tradition, Transparency and Tolerance", the President said.
He noted that the first 'T' means mutual trust. The second one is adherence to the OSCE principles and values. The third one - maximum openness and transparency in international relations, free of 'double standards' and 'dividing lines'. The forth 'T'- reflection of global trends on strengthening intercultural and intercivilization dialog, which obtains more significance in the modern world.
