Kazakh President Tokayev, at the Doha Forum, highlighted middle powers' growing global role and UN reforms, emphasizing Kazakhstan's unique East-West diplomacy and peace efforts.
President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev participated in the opening ceremony of the Doha Forum on Dec. 7, where he joined a Newsmaker Interview session. He emphasized the growing role of middle powers and the UN’s essential role as a universal organization, stating it is “necessary for humanity, with no alternative,” reported the Akorda press service.
The Kazakh leader, first of all, spoke about the significance of the UN’s efficient work and the growing role of middle powers.
Being a universal organization, the UN is absolutely essential to humanity, there is no alternative. Major powers, unfortunately, fail to make the global world more secure. The present realities, of course, are of great concern to many countries, including Kazakhstan. That is why the UN needs reform. We believe that contacts need to be established between major powers, the absence of which, unfortunately, led the Security Council to a dead end. So-called middle powers, including Kazakhstan, may play a very important role in promoting peace and security both regionally and globally, said Tokayev.
Kazakhstan, which has a unique position between East and West, plays an important role in multilateral diplomacy. Whether it is participation in the Syrian process or efforts towards nuclear disarmament, the country demonstrates that neutral and balanced decisions can unite the world.
Before Qatar, the President of Kazakhstan visited Saudi Arabia, where he took part in the One Water summit. President Tokayev's Middle East tour is aimed at strengthening partnerships with key countries in the region. The main focus was on issues of sustainable development, energy and ecology. Experts believe that the visit allowed Kazakhstan not only to strengthen its position in the region, but also to present its ambitious projects to the international community.
