OSCE Chairman-in-Office, Kazakh State Secretary - Foreign Minister
Kanat Saudabayev has presented OSCE chairmanship priorities to the
UN Security Council.
Saudabayev put emphasis on the OSCE's ability to assist the United
Nations in the prevention and elimination of threats, the Kazakh
Foreign Ministry said on Monday.
"Saudabayev said that the fulfillment of Kazakhstan's chairmanship
priorities would largely depend on the ability of OSCE member states
to build up mutual confidence and to do away with the division lines
remaining from the Cold War era on the OSCE space," the ministry said.
He also said that the Kazakh government would do its best to
resolve the conflicts, especially those on the post-Soviet space,
the ministry said.
"Bearing in mind our common history and similar mentalities, we hope
to give an impetus to the efforts of our partners involved in the
complicated [settlement] process," he said.
The Kazakh chair of the OSCE will closely monitor the protracted
conflicts and make the maximum use of the OSCE mechanisms in the
prevention of the conflict's escalation.
Saudabayev will visit Azerbaijan, Armenia and Georgia in February.
