ALMATY. KAZINFORM - Election of our country as a nonpermanent member of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) is a big achievement for Kazakhstan in terms of strengthening of global security, believes Professor of the Al-Farabi Kazakh National University Kuralai Baizakova.
Right after Kazakhstan was elected to the UNSC, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said this is a success of Kazakhstan's foreign policy conducted by President Nursultan Nazarbayev," Prof. Baizakova said at the international roundtable "New breakthrough in foreign policy: the Republic of Kazakhstan - a nonpermanent member of the UN Security Council" on Thursday.
