Now foreign policy department of the country brings in it finishing touches. The program leans against three priority measurements of OSCE: military-political, humanitarian and economic-ecological. Particular attention is given to the first direction. It includes a question of struggle against terrorism, the organized crime, the drug traffic, and distribution of weapons of mass destruction. The solution of military conflicts at the territory of OSCE and opposition to new calls and threats are mainstreams in military-political measurement of the Organization on safety and cooperation in Europe. And Kazakhstan as its future chairman has already defined priorities in this sphere. First is the maintenance of stability on territory of OSCE and the Central Asia.
