The Hindu (India), January 24, 2009, KAZAKHSTAN A PARTNER IN TERROR FIGHT: INDIA
President Pratibha Devisinh Patil Saturday described Kazakhstan as India's "valuable partner" in its fight against terrorism, while thanking the Central Asian nation for its strong condemnation of the Mumbai mayhem.
"We regard Kazakhstan as a valuable partner in this fight against terrorism," Patil said in her speech at a banquet in honour of Kazakhstan President Noorsultan Nazarbayev, who will attend the Republic Day Parade here Jan 26 as the chief guest.
"We are deeply touched by the words of condemnation expressed by Kazakhstan on the terrorist attacks that took place in November last year," the president said, adding: "Your words of support reinforced our resolve to firmly deal with the menace of terrorism, which requires coordinated efforts globally."
Tracing the "historical linkages" between India and Kazakhstan as evident by the fact that the two countries interacted via the fabled Silk Route and that the Buddha's images have been found etched on the banks of the Ili river, Patil said: "India is committed to take forward its historical linkages into the future by developing a multi-faceted and mutually beneficial relationship."
Praising Kazakhstan's "remarkable progress in a short period", Patil added: "This progress is not merely economic growth, but overall development of Kazakhstan as a nation" and congratulated President Nazarbayev for this.
Patil also noted India-Kazakhstan cooperation in various sectors including energy security, hydrocarbons and civilian nuclear energy, and thanked the visiting president for promoting these links.
The Hindu (Индия), January 23, 2009, KAZAKH PRESIDENT ARRIVES; PRANAB TO LEAD DELEGATION LEVEL TALKS
India and Kazakhastan will give fresh impetus to their ties by signing nuclear and business pacts during the four-day visit of President Nursultan Nazarbayev who arrived here on Friday evening.
Nazarbayev, who is on his fourth visit to India since 1992, will be the chief guest at the Republic Day Parade which is an indicator of growing Indo-Kazakh relations.
The Kazakh leader was received by Minister of State for Industry Ashwini Kumar.
As Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is indisposed, the Kazakh President will hold delegation-level talks with External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee. The two sides will sign agreements in the presence of President Pratibha Patil and Nazarbayev after the talks at Rashtrapati Bhawan.
During the visit, the two sides are expected to sign a civil nuclear agreement besides a few other pacts.
Kazakhstan is known to have the world's second largest reserves of uranium which India needs to ensure that its atomic plants continue running.
The nuclear deal will not just be confined to uranium supply but also include joint exploration of nuclear fuel and setting up of atomic plants.
Kazakhstan will be the fourth country after the US, France and Russia with which India will have civil nuclear cooperation.
Kazakhstan, which is the third largest producer of uranium, is planning to step up excavation to become the largest producer by 2010 by raising output to 15,500 tonnes.
The Business Standard (India), January 26, 2009, INDIA, KAZAKHSTAN SIGN CIVIL NUCLEAR PACT
India and Kazakhstan have signed a civil nuclear pact under which the uranium-rich Central Asian country would be supplying the much-needed fuel to atomic plants in the country. Kazakhstan has also offered five blocks for discovery of oil and gas to India.
According to Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbayev, who is also the chief guest for the 60th Republic Day celebrations, oil and gas is a highly prospective area for collaboration between India and Kazakhstan as his country has oil and gas reserves for 50 and 75 years, respectively.
Kazakhstan would offer special economic zones (SEZ) to India. Once the construction of these industrial zones is completed, the Kazakhstan government would come up with a comprehensive taxation policy. Both the countries have formed a strategic partnership for setting up joint projects in construction, oil and gas, minerals and metallurgy. Besides, Kazakhstan will supply uranium to India for peaceful purpose.
Soliciting investments from India, the visiting president especially emphasised the need for setting up manufacturing facilities in the pharmaceutical sector in Kazakhstan as it imports $500 million medicines annually. Another sector for cooperation identified by the president include IT, financial and banking services.
Exports from Kazakhstan to India in January-November 2008 amounted to $149.7 million, which is 3.2 times higher in comparison with the similar period in 2007 ($47 million). The import from India to Kazakhstan in January-November 2008 rose to $182.7 million, 37.8 per cent more than $132.6 million in the similar period in 2007.
Major commodities of export from India to Kazakhstan are tea, pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, machinery, tobacco and consumer items. Almost all the major pharmaceutical companies have presence in Kazakhstan.
Mittal steel is a major NRI investment worth nearly $2 billion.
The NewsPost Online (India), January 25, 2009, NAZARBAYEV ASKS EARLY ACTION AGAINST PERPETRATORS OF MUMBAI ATTACKS
Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazaebayev, who is on a four day visit to India, has appealed for due punishment to the terrorists involved in the Mumbai attacks at the earliest.
Speaking at a banquet organised by President Pratibha Devisingh Patil, Nazarbayev reaffirmed Kazakhatan’’s cooperation with India in dealing with global terrorism.
Earlier, President Patil termed Kazakhstan as a valuable partner in the fight against terrorism.
“We are deeply touched by the words of condemnation expressed by Kazakhstan, on the terrorist attacks that took place in November last year. Your words of support reinforced our resolve to firmly deal with the menace of terrorism, which requires coordinated efforts globally,” she said.
India, she said, also appreciated the remarkable progress achieved by Kazakhstan and congratulated President Nazarbayev for his far-sighted vision and exemplary leadership with which he steered his nation.
Both countries have demanded an early conclusion of the comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism within the UN framework.
The two sides agreed on a strategic partnership based on the principles of sovereignty and equality, in various other important areas like food and energy security.
The 26/11 Mumbai attacks were a series of ten coordinated terror attacks in different parts of the city, which killed at least 180 people and injured around 300 people.
Several other countries, including the United States have acknowledged the seriousness of Mumbai terror strikes, which were also aimed at tourists.(ANI)
