One of the active areas of Kazakhstan’s foreign policy is cooperation with the CSCE and the North Atlantic Cooperation Council.

Broadly speaking, our foreign policy can now be described as dynamic and active. Kazakhstan’s membership of the United Nations has allowed it to become actively involved in international life, a fact reflected in our membership now of 20 international organizations, including the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP), the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and others. The Republic’s membership in the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), the Economic Commission for Europe (ECE) and other international organizations is under consideration.
