Head of State invites President of Finland to pay official visit to Kazakhstan

Tarja Halonen, in her turn, had pleasure in accepting the invitation of the Kazakh President. The Kazakh President also addressed the local journalists to visit our country. ?You will see, if we are ready to chair the OSCE. In my opinion, your answer will be positive?, N.Nazarbayev said to the Finnish journalists. The president highlighted the democratic reforms in 17 years of independence. Noting that Finland gained independence 74 years ago, and Kazakhstan ? only 17 years ago, the Head of the State said, that Finland is one of the competitive countries in the world. Level of corruption is low; level of education is very high here. We would like to have such achievements too but in a shorter period of time.
