Sarsenbayev said that due to Kazakhstan's achievements in the international arena our country has chaired the OSCE, the SCO and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. "The Republic of Kazakhstan is a country that voluntarily renounced the fourth largest nuclear arsenal in the world and, from the day of independence, is an active member of the movement for non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
