N. Nazarbaev: Eurasian integration is our strategic advantage over challenges of the third global industrial revolution.

“We will continue moving to our common aim, I want to stress that Eurasian integration that is being implemented on my personal initiative never has been and will never be aimed at the reincarnation of any political union, moreover it won’t be a restoration of the former USSR fallen into oblivion,” said Nazarbaev on Friday during the meeting with the representatives of foreign diplomatic corps accredited in the Republic of Kazahstan.

“We will continue moving to our common aim, I want to stress that Eurasian integration that is being implemented on my personal initiative never has been and will never be aimed at the reincarnation of any political union, moreover it won’t be a restoration of the former USSR fallen into oblivion,” said Nazarbaev on Friday during the meeting with the representatives of foreign diplomatic corps accredited in the Republic of Kazahstan.

“Here we can see a complete concurrence of opinions of all the participants of this process.” He added, “We are sure that Eurasian integration is our strategic advantage over challenges of the third global industrial revolution.”

The head of the state continued: “We are determined to make an effective united step towards new technologies. And of course Kazakhstan, Russia and Belarus remain independent states with their own national interests.”

In his opinion all doubts about these real aims of the Eurasian integration are baseless. “These doubts are just reactions of mass media, experts and some politics who continue to live within the times of the Cold War. Integration is a global process in the whole world and it is a necessity because none of the countries, even the most powerful, can live in the global world on their own, separately,” Nazarbaev stated in conclusion.
