Kazakhstan focused on Russia’s plan for new European security deal

Kazakhstan will cooperate in the working out of a proposal for a new
European security treaty proposed by Russian President Dmitry Medvedev
and supports its position on the necessity to develop a system for the
prevention and resolution of conflicts, current OSCE chairman and
Kazakh Foreign Minister Kanat Saudabayev told RIA Novosti.

Russia has proposed concluding a new deal on European security to
member states of NATO, the EU, the CSTO, CIS and the OSCE. Moscow’s
proposal is based around the creation of a mechanism that would
prevent any one country or organization from having a monopoly on
security enforcement.

Saudabayev said that Kazakhstan would bring up the Russian proposal
“in the agenda of the informal meeting between the OSCE foreign
ministers to take place in Almaty in July 2010 and at a meeting of the
heads of 5 international organizations having interests in security
issues - NATO, the EU, the CSTO, the CIS and the OSCE.”
