Kazakhstan proposes to adopt long-term program of financial-economic assistance of OIC to CA least developed countries

OSCE Chairperson-in-Office, Kazakh Secretary of State-Minister of Foreign Affairs Kanat Saudabayev announced it while reporting at the 37th Session of the Council of the OIC Foreign Ministers in Dushanbe.

Talking about the situation in our region, K.Saudabayev noted that potential security risks for Central Asia are connected with instability in Afghanistan.

In his opinion, though the military operation of the international coalition forces against the Taliban movement led to marked reduction in direct terrorist threat for Central Asia, today a dead end of military solution of the Afghan problem is obvious. "Assistance in transfer of the society from armed confrontation to the way of meaningful development - this is what Afghanistan needs now", K.Saudabayev said.

"Our fraternal duty is to render system support to Kyrgyzstan and Afghanistan so the nations of these countries could ensure their development by themselves.

Kazakhstan realizes its liability for stable and progressive promotion of Central Asian region and renders assistance to neighbors. I arrived to the forum from Kabul, where I discussed the issues of further assistance.

We also render assistance to the interim government of the Kyrgyz Republic", K.Saudabayev said.
