Address of President of the Republic of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev State-of-the nation address of Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbayev - SELECTIONSThis year is especially valuable for us. We have approached the 20th anniversary of our independence. We have conquered significant tops along this way, which led dependent people to independent days of present time. As you remember, in 1997, in my first address to the people of Kazakhstan, I said: By 2030, our next generations will live in a country which would not be left in the wayside of global events. At that time, there were many people who were doubtful about these words. However, we have achieved this desired goal not in 33, but in twelve years! The Summit, recently held in Astana, convened the heads of the 56 states and governments and is an outstanding evidence of this. And even before this major and glorious achievement, we have reached many goals. We have become one of the three states in the world, which convened its compatriots, scattered as millet in different times of history. In these years, more than 800,000 compatriots came back from foreign states and the number of population increased by one and a half million. We have built a beautiful and prosperous Astana in the wide steppe of SaryArka. We have established the capital, which became the symbol of our dynamic development, on the banks of Yessil River. Only the nation which lives in harmony and understanding will reach the fruitful future. Today, Kazakhstans international reserves are about 60 billion USD..Prosperity requires cooperation, and unity is the token of wealth. In the years of independence, more than 120 billion USD in foreign investment were attracted in the economy of our country. We also export more than 200 kinds of products to 126 countries of the world. Today, one third of the national wealth is created by small and medium-sized businesses. The agricultural sector is also developing. In 2010, the GDP increased by 7 percent, industrial production by 10 percent, while the growth in manufacturing industries reached 19 percent. An average monthly salary increased from 53,000 in 2007 to 80,000 tenge (KZT) in 2010. In terms of the national wellbeing, last year Kazakhstan made 26 steps forward and took the 50th place among 110 countries. Overall, an average monthly salary increased by 5.5 times and the average pension increased fourfold. We overcame the crisis, which shook the world, and bravely stepped onto a straight path of development. I have never had more happiness than to serve the interests of my country and welfare of my motherland. We still have a lot of work. Our most important value in this path is our cohesive unity. I am sure that large-hearted people of my country who value unity will become a strong and prosperous nation. There is a wise folk saying: If the country has a blessing there will be wellbeing and its direction will be right. In this address, we summed up the results of the work, which had been done during a glorious stage and outlined a direction for the future. I wish you all a great success in your noble work towards wellbeing in the interests of the country! Let our noble activities, which brought us to these glorious days, be blessed, dear compatriots!

Your Excellency how you will describe the Romanian- Emirates relationship?
Our bilateral relations are old and full of diplomatic interactions on different levels. The diplomatic relations begin at 1.08.1989. Also the relations are substantiated by reciprocal high level visits in the last years that contributed to developing friendship and cooperation between our countries. United Arab Emirates are having a high development experience and a high appreciation on world economic organizations and this is making bilateral relations easier. Also because Romania is among European countries interested in regional relations in general and in relations with United Arab Emirates, in special this is important in developing relations in all fields, and in 2008 the total commercial exchange reached 522 million dollars. Doubling this amount in the last five years is by itself a clear indicator on the dynamic that characterized our bilateral relations.
