Today, the priority is given to the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) regarding the fact that Kazakhstan would be one of the spacefaring countries with the plans to develop its own national space program and having on its territory the huge Baikonur Cosmodrome. Being a non-member, Kazakhstan still follows the MTCR Guidelines and its Equipment, Software and Technology Annex. Finally, Kazakhstan joined the Hague Code of Conduct against Ballistic Missile Proliferation in 2005. The country had accomplished a serious amount of work aimed at having its national export control legislation in the strict correspondence with the international standards and requirements. Kazakhstan is a member to the following Treaties serving as a basis to the international non-proliferation system worldwide: the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), the Convention on the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (CWC), the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production and Stockpiling of Biological and Toxin Weapons and on Their Destruction (BWC) and the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT). Kazakhstan also participates in 13 international treaties and conventions against terrorism, including the Convention for the Suppression of Acts of Nuclear Terrorism. Therefore Kazakhstan is truly belongs to the countries deserving to be a part of MTCR with its full-fledged export control system and the relevant legislative background, Kazinform cites the press service of the Kazakhstan Embassy in the UK.
