NUR-SULTAN. KAZINFORM Kazakhstan’s National Security Committee marks today its 30th anniversary, Kazinform reports.

Established in 1992, by a presidential decree, the NSC has been an integral part of the system ensuring the country’s security and sovereignty.

For this reason, strengthening the country’s defense potential will always remain our priority,» the President said.
