    Quotes
    Nursultan NAZARBAYEV
    The first President of the Republic of Kazakhstan - Elbasy
    “Only by joining our efforts, we will be able to confront the challenges and threats that I spoke about. Therefore, dialogue means a lot - open, honest and sometimes inconvenient. I believe that the “Astana Club” will become a new ideas and solutions generator for the whole of Eurasia”.

    “In my opinion, the time has come to develop direct contacts between the Eurasian Economic Union, the European Union, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and the recently created Organization of Turkic States. In this regard, I propose to establish “Greater Eurasia” four-sided economic forum, where our countries could discuss and promote all the cooperation possibilities in Eurasia”

    “The activities of the Global Alliance of Leaders for Nuclear Security and a World Free of Nuclear Weapons (GAL), which is supported by 70 well-known world politicians, are of particular importance today. The GAL can be a central platform and impetus for discussing and drafting of my proposed plan. In this regard, I propose to hold a Global Forum on Nuclear Non-Proliferation and Disarmament in the capital of Kazakhstan.”
    Ban KI-MOON
    President and Chair of the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI), 8th UN Secretary General (2007-2016)
    “By creating the Global Leadership Alliance for Nuclear Security and a World Free of Nuclear Weapons in 2019, His Excellency the First President Nursultan Nazarbayev has demonstrated Kazakhstan's exemplary leadership in this area.”

    “I pay tribute to Kazakhstan and the First President Nazarbayev for the initiative to bring together world leaders and activists to progress future free from the threat of nuclear war. I want to express my deepest respect for the foresight and determined will of His Excellency the First President Nazarbayev to create a world free of nuclear weapons.”
    Abdullah GUL
    President of Turkey (2007-2014)
    “During these years, I peculiarly watched how Kazakhstan developed, saw its remarkable achievements under the wise leadership of President Nazarbayev.”

    “This year, the 30th anniversary of Independence as a prestigious member of the international community to be celebrated. I am sure that the future of Kazakhstan will be even brighter and it will become a guarantor of peace, security, stability in Eurasia and beyond.”
    Danilo TURK
    President of the Madrid Club, President of Slovenia (2007-2012)
    “Over the 30 years of its development, Kazakhstan has demonstrated incredible potential in the field of mediation, innovation, diplomatic initiatives.”
    Hamid KARZAI
    President of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan (2004-2014)
    “I would like to express the best wishes from Afghanistan. I remember well the First President of Kazakhstan contribution to stability and education in Afghanistan.”
    Nino BURJANADZE
    Leader of the Democratic Movement - United Georgia, Acting President of Georgia (2003-2004, 2007-2008), Chairman of the Parliament of Georgia (2001-2008)
    “By virtue of Elbasy, Kazakhstan is celebrating the 30th anniversary of Independence, unlike Georgia, not with fragmented territories, not with conflicts, not with ethnic conflicts, not with civil confrontation, but with a united, whole and prosperous state that is respected all over the world.”

    “The multi-vector policy of N. Nazarbayev provided Kazakhstan with a strong position in the international arena, and also created favorable conditions for the development of Kazakhstan as a stable and prosperous state.”
    Jose Manuel BARROSO
    Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI) Chairman, President of the European Commission (2004-2014)
    “Kazakhstan is located in a place where the risk of civilization clash always takes place, and at the same time Kazakhstan is a country that can benefit from the fact that one civilization meets another on the territory of Kazakhstan. I believe that countries like Kazakhstan can be extremely important in the process of preventing de-globalization. This understanding should animate all areas of our cooperation.”
    Beatrice FIHN
    Nobel Peace Prize Laureate (2017), Executive Director of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN)
    “I would like to congratulate Kazakhstan on the 30th anniversary of the Independence. From the very first day of independence, Kazakhstan has become a leader in the field of nuclear disarmament and this leadership is exactly what is needed right now.”
    Mikhail GORBACHEV
    From the address of the Former President of the USSR, Nobel Peace Prize laureate M. GORBACHEV to the First President of Kazakhstan and the participants of the GAL.
    “I would like to welcome the initiative of the First President of Kazakhstan to create a Global Alliance of Leaders for Nuclear Security. And it is very important that participants from different regions also represent different generations of political leaders. I would like to express my support and wish for success.”
    Vladimir NOROV
    Secretary General of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization
    “The creation of an independent Kazakhstan, its progressive development and entry into the international arena are directly related to the name of the First President of Kazakhstan.”
