Kazakhstan Foreign Minister Yerzhan Kazykhanov talked to the U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton about prospects of development of strategic partnership between the two countries, Tengrinews.kz reports citing Kazakhstan Foreign Ministry’s press-service. The phone conversation took place on January 14. The officials noted that during 20 years since the start of the diplomatic relations both countries had passed a long way and had laid the foundation for further enhancement of large-scale cooperation.

Kazykhanov told Clinton about the work done on preparation and holding of the Majilis elections. The Minister noted that the elections were an important step forward on the way of democratic progress and would help to ensure further consistent and stable social-economic development of the country. The U.S. Secretary of State in her turn expressed permanent support to Kazakhstan’s adherence to holding free and fair elections, stressing the country’s openness and willingness to invite many foreign observers. Clinton noted that the U.S. welcomed Kazakhstan’s further comprehensive development and stressed the importance of the regional context of the processes taking place in Kazakhstan. Head of the Department of State noted that Nursultan Nazarbayev’s decision to hold the elections in Zhanaozen despite of the opinion of the Constitutional Council and his insistence on provision of the constitutional rights to all the Kazakhstan citizens was a bright example of the country’s adherence to the principles of the rule law and democracy.
