Reforms conducted in Kazakhstan may be spread all over Central Asia - Italian political expert

ASTANA. KAZINFORM - Political and economic reforms which are being conducted in Kazakhstan may be spread all over Central Asian countries, Italian political expert Tiberio Graziani told at the international congress of political experts called "Kazakhstani way - nation of common future" in Astana.

"I think that President Nazarbayev has a long-term policy and it corresponds with the program that was announced two years ago - "Kazakhstan-2050". Besides, I think that Kazakhstan understands its role well enough in the international arena. I mean the role in the Central Asian region in particular and globally in general. Political and economic reforms conducted by Kazakhstan may be extended and spread all over Central Asian countries. In regard of the Kazakhstan's role, I can say that it exert a lot efforts to resist the global financial crisis. In particular I would like to note the Eurasian Economic Union which is a good measure to overcome the crisis in the Central Asian region and globally as well," T. Graziani told.
