The Times of India (Индия), January 24, 2009, MUKHERJEE PERFORMS PM'S DUTIES, RECEIVES KAZAKHSTAN PRESIDENT
External affairs minister Pranab Mukherjee performed the first protocol duties of the prime minister on Saturday as he received Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbayev at the ceremonial reception at the Rashtrapati Bhawan.
As Prime Minister Manmohan Singh underwent a bypass surgery, Mukherjee joined President Pratibha Patil in welcoming Nazarbayev on the forecourt of the majestic Presidential Palace.
"Our prime minister is indisposed, hence I am receiving you," Mukherjee, the senior most minister in the Union cabinet told the Kazakh President while greeting him.
After Nazarbayev inspected the tri-services Guard of Honour, Mukherjee introduced to him cabinet ministers who had assembled there for the ceremonial welcome. These duties are actually carried out by the prime minister.
The external affairs minister will lead the delegation level talks with the Kazakh president, who is on his fourth visit here since Kazakhstan was separated from the erstwhile Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) in 1991.
The venue of the talks, which were originally scheduled between Singh and Nazarbayev, has also been shifted from Hyderabad House to Rashtrapati Bhavan.
The Hindu (Индия), January 26, 2009, Sandeep DIKSHIT, KAZAKHSTAN CONDEMNS MUMBAI ATTACKS
Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbayev has strongly condemned the terrorist attacks in Mumbai and reiterated the need for intensifying global cooperation in combating international terrorism.
Mr. Nazarbayev also assured that Kazakhstan stood firmly with India in dealing with the scourge of global terrorism. In a joint declaration issued late on Saturday night, the two sides expressed the hope that the perpetrators of the Mumbai terror attacks would be brought to justice at the earliest. Both sides also called for early conclusion of the Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism within the U.N. framework.
To this end the signing of the extradition treaty was seen as underlining the commitment of the governments’ law enforcement agencies to develop cooperation and provide required assistance and support to each other.
Mr. Nazarbayev will be the Chief Guest at the Republic Day celebrations, a gesture he termed as “the recognition of high status of friendly relations between our two nations.” Having elevated the bilateral cooperation to the level of strategic partnership, both sides have created all the conditions for further intensification of our bilateral relations in political, economic and humanitarian spheres, he added.
Express gratitude
The visit provided India the opportunity to appreciate Kazakhstan’s support in the meeting of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) which allowed New Delhi to resume full civil nuclear cooperation with the international community. Both sides noted that this opened immense possibilities of cooperation in nuclear civil energy sector, including in the mining of uranium. While welcoming the signing of memorandum of understanding between the Nuclear Power Corporation of India and Kazakh national atomic company Kazatomprom, India and Kazakhstan recommended an early conclusion of an Inter Governmental Agreement for Cooperation in Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy.
Despite having the fourth largest nuclear arsenal following the break-up of the Soviet Union, Kazakhstan voluntarily renounced nuclear weapons and their delivery platforms. It was also instrumental in persuading its neighbours to agree to a regional nuclear weapons free zone which is considered the most comprehensive as compared to similar pacts elsewhere in the world. Yet, unlike Australia and Japan, Kazakhstan strongly supported India at the NSG and by late last year had indicated its willingness to enter into nuclear commerce even though New Delhi is not a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
Satisfaction
Both governments expressed satisfaction on the successful completion of negotiations and signing of the agreement between ONGC Mittal Energy and KazMunaiGaz for the Satpayev Block and underlined the need for expeditious conclusion of the contract. New Delhi hoped that the conclusion of the agreement would be the beginning of a long-term mutually beneficial cooperation in the hydrocarbon sector.
To this end, India has proposed the setting up of a gas-based fertilizer plant and an entrepreneurship development centre in Kazakhstan for which the feasibility studies by Indian agencies would begin immediately. Both sides plan a joint study of common historical heritage and develop the existing sites in both countries to attract tourists.
The Hindu (India), January 25, 2009, KAZAKHSTAN INVITES INDIAN INVESTMENTS
Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbayev on Saturday sought investments by Indian industry in sectors such as pharmaceutical, information technology, financial and banking services along with joint participation in oil and gas sectors.
Addressing the captains of industry here, Mr. Nazarbayev said Kazakhstan imported nearly $500 million worth of pharmaceutical requirements every year and it wanted Indian companies to set up facilities in this area. In addition, he said, investments were being solicited in sectors such as banking and financial, IT, metallurgy and related areas.
“India and Kazakhstan have formed strategic partnership for setting up of joint projects in many areas such as construction, oil and gas, minerals, metallurgy as also supply of uranium. My visit to India would result into establishment of long-term relationship in areas identified above,” he added.
He said oil and gas was the highly prospective area for collaboration between the two countries as his country had oil reserves for 50 years and gas reserves for 75 years.
Exports
V. S. Shkolink, Minister of Industry and Trade, Kazakhstan, said exports from Kazakhstan to India were more than three times higher at $150 million in January-November 2008 as compared to the same period last year. Imports from India during the period stood at $182.7 million, registering a 37.8-per cent increase.
Economy on right track
Minister of State for Industry Ashwani Kumar said the Indian economy was on the right track and had touched the $1-trillion mark.
The Minister further said that it was appropriate to mention a few areas where the two countries could enhance active cooperation including IT, health care, transfer of technology, textile and to top it all tourism.
The establishment of a software technology park in Almaty and establishment of IT centres in the universities could further be strengthened as the scope for cooperation was enormous.
