There has always been a special temperature in relations between the two neighboring states, which makes it possible to expand the points of contact and achieve joint progress. The countries' efforts to strengthen ties have now entered a new phase. The intensification of bilateral cooperation is taking place, including in such areas as politics, economics, regional and border cooperation.
Nur-Sultan et Moscou attachent une grande importance au développement fructueux de la coopération kazakho-russe dans le domaine militaire.
Il se trouve que le Kazakhstan et la Russie sont reliés par des milliers de liens, dans presque tous les domaines. Les deux États alliés interagissent avec succès dans le cadre de grands projets bilatéraux et internationaux, en développant notamment de manière active la composante militaire de leur coopération. Comme précisé dans le nouveau Concept de Politique Étrangère de la République du Kazakhstan pour 2020-2030, les priorités du pays dans le domaine de la diplomatie régionale et multilatérale impliquent la poursuite du développement des relations d’alliance avec la Fédération de Russie.
Nur-Sultan and Moscow attach great importance to the fruitful development of Kazakh-Russian cooperation in the military sphere
It so happened that Kazakhstan and Russia are connected by thousands of threads in almost all spheres of life. Allied states successfully interact in large bilateral and international projects, including actively developing the military component of cooperation. As noted in the new Foreign Policy Concept of the Republic of Kazakhstan for 2020 — 2030, the country's priorities in the field of regional and multilateral diplomacy imply the further development of allied relations with the Russian Federation.
Afghanistan has long been a modern backbone for international politics. There is no other country around which (more precisely, around which problems) such a developed system of global, regional, two-, three — and quadripartite dialogues are built. Dozens of intelligent people around the world are working on ways to resolve the «Afghan issue», and dissertations are being defended. Monographs on Afghan topics can be filled in several rooms of the library. Before the era of self-isolation, the fast and frequently used international conferences about Afghanistan were one of the drivers of the hotel, restaurant, catering, air travel industries, and everything related to the event business.
L'Afghanistan est depuis plusieurs années l’épine dorsale de la politique internationale. Il n'existe aucun autre pays autour duquel est construit un système aussi développé de dialogues mondiaux, régionaux, à deux, trois et quatre parties. Des dizaines de personnes brillantes dans le monde entier travaillent sur les moyens de résoudre la «question afghane», et des thèses sont défendues. Des monographies entières sur des sujets traitant de l’Afghanistan remplissent les bibliothèques.

Before the era of self-isolation, the fast and frequently used international conferences about Afghanistan were one of the drivers of the hotel, restaurant, catering, air travel industries, and everything related to the event business. For some international organizations specializing in security, the «Afghan problem» served as the main justification for their activities. At the same time, which is very important, Afghanistan with its problems brought out international unity. At the UN, resolutions on Afghanistan are adopted with unanimity that is rare these days. The countries, whose views on the world are diametrically opposed, coincide in their approaches to solving the Afghan issue.
Au cours des années d'indépendance, le Kazakhstan a initié et participé à la création d'un certain nombre d'organisations multinationales, mais aucune d'entre elles, sans doute, n'a donné lieu à des avis aussi contradictoires que l'Union Économique Eurasiatique (UEE). L'idée fut proposée à l'origine en mai 1994 par Noursoultan Nazarbaïev. Deux ans plus tard, un accord permettant de renforcer la coopération économique et humanitaire fut signé entre le Kazakhstan, la Biélorussie, le Kirghizistan et la Russie (le Tadjikistan rejoindra le groupe des quatre pays à ce moment-là).
Over the years of independence, Kazakhstan has initiated and participated in the creation of a number of international organizations, but none of them, perhaps, has caused such contradictory assessments as the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU). The idea was originally proposed by Nursultan Nazarbayev in May 1994. Two years later, an Agreement was signed between Kazakhstan, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan and Russia on deepening integration in the economic and humanitarian fields (Tajikistan then later joined the alliance of the four). An Integration Committee was created, headed by the First Deputy Prime Minister of Kazakhstan Nigmatzhan Isingarin.
L'anniversaire de Noursoultan Nazarbaïev est l’occasion de se rappeler pourquoi il a dirigé avec succès le pays pendant trois décennies. Le Kazakhstan est l'un des rares États post-soviétiques à avoir échappé aux conflits interethniques, aux confrontations militaires, aux crises sociales, et Nazarbaïev est l'un des rares hommes politiques à ne pas avoir trouvé d’alternative crédible durant toute la durée de sa présidence.
Aujourd'hui, s’il s’agit de faire le bilan de ce qui a été accompli, il est très facile de parler de ce qui aurait pu être mieux fait et comment. Les jeunes qui ont grandi au cours de ces dernières décennies adoptent souvent une position extrême lorsqu'ils évoquent les actions de Noursoultan Nazarbaïev.
The anniversary of Nursultan Nazarbayev is a good reason to remember why he successfully ruled the country for three decades. Kazakhstan is one of the few post-Soviet states that has escaped interethnic conflicts, military confrontations, social cataclysms, while Nazarbayev himself is one of the few politicians who, during the entire period of his presidency, did not have a worthy alternative.
Today, when there is time to assess the amount of work done, it is very easy to talk about how and what could have been done better. Young people, who have grown up in recent decades, often go to extremes when talking about the actions of Nursultan Nazarbayev.
The strategic Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) of China has a truly global significance and far-reaching geopolitical implications. «Belt» is the «Economic Silk Road» that links China with the Eurasian continent, Africa and the Middle East by the road, railway lines and fiber-optic communication lines by land, while «Road» is «21st Century Maritime Silk Road» that links China with distant markets and raw materials of the area between Arctic and Indian, Pacific and Atlantic oceans by water.
