However, in contrast to some of the other so-called frontline states, Kazakhstan was less directly affected by the military operation against the Taliban because of factors including its relative distance from Afghanistan and the absence of a significant militant Islamist presence on its territory. On the economic front, the Tengiz-Novorossisk oil pipeline, which extends from one of the world's largest oil fields in Kazakhstan to a Black Sea port in Russia, was finally operational by the middle of the year.

Print this page Annual Report Tashkent Regional delegation (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan) While in 1994 there was no armed conflict in the region covered by the delegation in Tashkent, the ICRC remained concerned about a number of existing and potential problems. The difficult economic situation prevailing in all four countries created a risk of social unrest, and ethnic tension gave rise to fears of renewed clashes in some areas. In keeping with its main objective for the year, the ICRC worked, both from Geneva headquarters and from the regional delegation, to spread knowledge of the basic rules of international humanitarian law and of Red Cross/Red Crescent activities and their guiding principles of neutrality, impartiality and independence. Apart from fostering contacts with political and military circles as well as the national and provincial Red Crescent and Red Cross organizations in all four republics, ICRC delegates gave talks on humanitarian law, the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and the ICRC's work, distributed essential dissemination material and organized events which were given extensive media coverage. This enabled the various National Societies, which are still awaiting recognition, to make their work better known among wide sectors of the population. Throughout the year, the regional delegate had meetings with senior officials of the Ministries of Defence, the Interior, Justice and Foreign Affairs of the four republics and various ambassadors based there, and with the local authorities in 24 provinces and the autonomous republic of Karakalpakstan. The delegation arranged for three presentations on international humanitarian law and the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement to be given for senior representatives of government and parliament in Ashgabat, Tashkent and Bishkek. High-ranking members of the armed forces of Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan attended specialized dissemination courses in Bishkek, Almaty and Ashgabat. The ICRC also organized a series of 29 lectures for representatives of the local authorities and Red Crescent/Red Cross members and volunteers in provincial capitals throughout the four republics.

About the ICRC ICRC activities The ICRC worldwide Focus ... Print this page Annual Report Tashkent, regional Delegation (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan) The Central Asian States continued to suffer economic decline in 1999, with all four countries covered by the Tashkent delegation experiencing a decrease in foreign investment and a fall in economic indicators. Growing discontent with multilateral regional organizations became evident when Uzbekistan withdrew from the CIS* Security Treaty and Turkmenistan pulled out of the CIS visa-free travel agreement. Clashes with fundamentalists A bombing incident in Tashkent in February, attributed to Islamic groups, heightened concern over the growth of fundamentalism in Central Asia. Leaders of all four of the countries covered by the regional delegation subsequently agreed to take strong measures against fundamentalist activities. Fighting broke out in August between the Kyrgyz army and a group of combatants operating along the border between southern Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. Uzbek air strikes against these armed groups hit Tajik territory, resulting in a deterioration in the relations between Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. [3] Helping displaced and returning families The fighting in southern Kyrgyzstan forced the displacement of approximately 5,000 people in the Batken area. The ICRC and the Kyrgyz Red Crescent Society cooperated to distribute food and hygiene articles to displaced and returning families.

STATEMENT BY HIS EXCELLENCY MR. KASSYMZHOMART K. TOKAEV MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRSOF THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN AT THE GENERAL DEBATE OF THE FIFTY-EIGHTH REGULAR SESSION OF THE UNITED NATIONS GENERAL ASSEMBLY NEW YORK, 25 SEPTEMBER 2003 Mr. President, Mr. Secretary-General, Mr. President, At the turn of the millennium, the international community is living through changes of epic proportions. The process of transition to a new world order is facing unprecedented global threats: interethnic and inter-confessional conflicts; international terrorism and organized crime; natural, man-made and humanitarian disasters; diseases and epidemics; and energy and environmental problems. These threats come on top of globalization processes. All states have begun to share not only economy, technology, information and management but also numerous problems that hang over mankind like a dark cloud. We are firmly committed to the strengthening of regional integration. Kazakhstan is actively involved in the work within the Eurasian Economic Community. We have great expectations regarding single economic space in the territories of four C.I.S. countries. A significant contribution to counter-terrorism efforts and trade and economic cooperation in the Eurasian region could be made by the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. We are taking steps to develop cooperation with the Central Asian states. We intend to further promote the activities of the Economic Cooperation Organization.
