- From 2014, all responsibility for the provision of security, as well as the implementation of national priorities and programmes will transfer to the Afghanistan side. It is advisable that half of those funds, which are allocated by the international community and the USA in particular for programmes on the development of the country, will pass through the budget of Afghanistan.

The international community is worried about the problems of Afghanistan. It is the one of the poorest Asian countries and is witnessing continuing wars. 70% of the population is unemployed and 90% of the budget is formed due to donors. The representatives of large countries want to see Afghanistan as a stable, democratic and prosperous state and that is why the world community will assist in the implementation of the National Strategy for the Development of the Country. Kazakhstan, as the chairman of the OSCE, in interested in tackling this problem.

The strategic approach of Kazakhstan to the issue of Afghanistan has become one of the bases of the historical consensus on carrying out the OSCE summit this year in Astana.

Kazakhstan has been helping Afghanistan for many years. For example the country allocated 2.5 million US dollars for the construction of schools, hospitals and roads. Kazakhstan also sent 2 thousand tonnes of wheat to Kabul as humanitarian aid. Within the next five years it is planned to allocate another 50 million US dollars for the education of 1000 Afghanistan Students.
