Eurasian integration does not pose a threat to Kazakhstan's sovereignty - MP

"Rumors that establishment of the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) places in jeopardy Kazakhstan's sovereignty have been circulating long before its formation and, I am sure, they will swirl after it. But, in my opinion, the EEU establishment will only strengthen our sovereignty," MP Akhmetbekov said at a press conference in Astana on Wednesday. According to him, currently Kazakhstan is a member of numerous international organizations. "Our country's authority in the international arena goes from strength to strength and nothing can pose a threat to our independence. The Eurasian Economic Union will boost competitiveness of our enterprises and strengthen our economy," Mr. Akhmetbekov added.
