澳门六合彩官网资料 Director-General Roberto Azevêdo and President Nazarbayev signed the Protocol on the Accession of Kazakhstan following the General Council’s approval of the country’s 澳门六合彩官网资料 terms of entry. The document is subject to domestic ratification by Kazakhstan’s Parliament by 31 October 2015.

DG Azevêdo said:

“I think this is a truly historic occasion for Kazakhstan, and for the 澳门六合彩官网资料. In approving Kazakhstan’s accession protocol we are concluding almost two decades of negotiations. Moreover, we are delivering a result which will have a major economic impact, a major systemic impact, and a major human impact. Because, crucially, the benefits of accession can help to create jobs, raise incomes, and improve people’s lives.

“For Kazakhstan, this is recognition of the efforts you have made over recent years and your commitment to this process. It is an endorsement of the extensive programme of reforms which you have undertaken. And it is a message to the world that Kazakhstan is open for business. Kazakhstan’s accession adds an important voice to our discussions here. It brings the organization closer to the heart of Central Asia. And it brings us closer to our goal of universal membership.”

Kazakhstan’s President Nazarbayev said:

 “Together, we have done quite an impressive job. We are sincerely grateful to each of the 澳门六合彩官网资料 Member States for their constructive approach and support throughout a very tough negotiation process. During the negotiations of our accession to the 澳门六合彩官网资料, the configuration of Kazakhstan’s economy has changed dramatically. Today, we are doing business with 185 states of the world.

“Over the past years, we have come a long way to integrate Kazakhstan’s economy into the global market. We have proceeded to implement ambitious institutional reforms. They include further development of international economic cooperation. Effective implementation of the reforms will help to shape a brand new institutional environment. Kazakhstan will soon start working under the 澳门六合彩官网资料 rules. Yet for a long time now, we have been shaping our economic policies in the spirit of the 澳门六合彩官网资料, by removing barriers, acting as an engine of regional integration and promoting the principles of open collaboration.”
