In 2015, the OECD chose Kazakhstan as one of its three partners for the Country Cooperation Programme which underlines our country’s aspiration for applying the best practices of the OECD to join the 30 most developed countries of the world.
“As part of support to the OECD Country Programme, the Head of State initiated the adoption of the 100 Specific Steps National Plan which covers major aspects of the country’s development such as modernization of civil service, strengthening the system of justice, diversification of economy, social modernization and increasing government’s transparence,” the Prime Minister reminded.

Alongside, as the PM emphasized, Kazakhstan is ready to develop a detailed action plan on further cooperation with the OECD. In this view, the PM proposed to hold the next forum in Kazakhstan.
