Crisis in Ukraine will not re-start Cold War: US Assistant Secretary of State in Kazakhstan

U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Nisha Biswal has declared that the United States does not believe the recent events in Ukraine will lead to resumption of the Cold War with Russia, Tengrinews reports.

“We are moving towards a multipolar world, in which important relations will develop in various directions,” Biswal said. The U.S. supports developing China, strong Russia, impressive economies of Indonesia and India, growing and developing Kazakhstan - both as a regional player and a global one. The international relations is not a zero sum game, where gains of one country constitute losses for the other. In reality, the more cooperation and trade there is along all directions, the more beneficial it is for the citizens, she said and called for Russia to acknowledge this fact and strive to join in.

U.S. Assistant Secretary also added that the United States supported the development of friendly relations between Kazakhstan and Russia but so long as they were not “exclusive”. The U.S. was ready to continue its longstanding partnership with Kazakhstan and other Central Asian countries. Diversified relations can serve to provide stability, security, and prosperity in the whole region, she maintained.
