As Mr Nazarbayev puts it, "kazakhstan occupies the centre of the region, securing the links between Europe and Asia."
In the historical perspective, the balanced foreign policy of nazarbayev's friends has not only helped kazakhstan to win a wide range of friends, but also created a favorable environment for other countries' development. For China, there is no territorial dispute between China and kazakhstan, since kazakhstan immediately demarcated its border with China after the collapse of the Soviet union, clearing the way for close cooperation between the two countries.
From the development potential, kazakhstan is rich in energy and a large market. It is understood that ha has a proven reserves of 3.9 billion tons, the first in central Asia.
