Official Translation

JCIC
34th Session
Geneva, June 11, 2009

Closing Statement
by the Delegation of the Republic of Kazakhstan

Esteemed Mr. Chairman,

Esteemed Heads of the National Delegations,

Esteemed Members of the Delegations, Colleagues,

We note the constructive spirit of cooperation and the
high level of trust that has developed among the Parties in
the JCIC format.

In view of the fact that the 1991 START Treaty expires
on December 5 of this year and today is, in effect, our last
meeting in this format, the Kazakhstani side expresses its
appreciation to our Treaty partners and notes the practical
contribution the Parties have made to global threat reduction.

Kazakhstan is pleased to note that as of today the main
goals of the START Treaty have been achieved and the Treaty
can be considered to have been carried out.

At the same time, the Republic of Kazakhstan considers
it important not to allow a legal vacuum to emerge on such an
important issue and believes that the new START agreement
that will replace the Treaty must be legally binding and must
guarantee that the threshold levels reached earlier are not
revised upward.

As a Party to the START Treaty, the Kazakhstani side is
prepared to do everything in its power and is open to
consultations with all the Treaty Parties on issues relating
to the future process of reducing and eliminating strategic
offensive arms.

Thank you for your attention.
