Nazarbayev: Eurasian integration not aimed at reincarnation of political unions

President Nursultan Nazarbayev made that statement while hosting heads of foreign diplomatic missions accredited in Kazakhstan at Akorda presidential residence on Friday (January 18).
"Eurasian integration is being implemented upon my personal initiative. It has never been intended for reincarnation of any type of a political union, particularly the former Soviet Union. The Soviet Union is history. Eurasian integration is our way to fight the challenges of the third global industrial revolution. We are about to sail through to new technologies and lifestyle. At the same time Kazakhstan, Russia and Belarus remain independent nations with their own national interests. Any reservations about the genuine goal of the Eurasian integration are purely groundless," said the Kazakh President.
