Azerbaijan's political scientist Rauf Radzhabov: Kazakhstan strives to take worthy place among developed countries of world
"Following the dialogue of N. Nazarbayev with the people of Kazakhstan I would like to note several important issues which are of great interest for your country as well as for the whole Eurasian continent. I mean Kazakhstan's chairmanship in the OSCE in 2010. In his answers N. Nazarbayev noted Astana's readiness to work on most urgent problems. This sets the best pattern of seriousness of Kazakhstan approached to the ideas initiated by Astana within the OSCE presidency.
Observing the questions and answers published by Kazinform I would like also to highlight President's words regarding importance of authorities serving the nation. To my mind, it's a quite important moment when the country's leader lays emphasis on the authorities' professionalism. It would be great if all political leaders on the post-Soviet space adhere to this principle.
One more important issue regards youth policy and education. It should be noted here that President Nazarbayev called business to invest in education and finance educational projects. This relates to the International University being established at present which will gather most talented young people. Government's attention to employment of the youth deserves appreciation too.
In conclusion I would like to note N. Nazarbayev's words that independence of the country must be defended. Any sovereign state which sets ambitious aims and objectives and which also possesses rich natural resources and intellectual potential must defend its interests indeed.
Listening to the dialogue I understood that the people of Kazakhstan have one common goal - to contribute to the development of the state in order to take worthy place among the developed countries of the globe", R. Radzhabov said.
