ASTANA. KAZINFORM - "Since attaining independence Kazakhstan has achieved significant success on the path of modernization. Today it is a world-renowned and prospering country," believes former Chancellor of Germany Gerhard Schröder.
In his words, this success wouldn't have become a reality without far-sightedness and political will of President Nazarbayev. "Kazakhstan is an anchor of stability in the Central Asian region and a reliable supplier of natural resources to global markets. What we see in Kazakhstan is the success of processes of social and economic modernization. The society is characterized by equal opportunities policy and religious openness," the ex-Chancellor of Germany adds.
