Abstract
Last year the Republic of Kazakhstan celebrated its 30th anniversary of independence. Over this period Kazakhstan has strengthened its position in the international relations, has established itself as a peaceful and open state, a reliable partner in global and regional affairs. Kazakhstan implements a multi-vectoral, pragmatic and proactive foreign policy, makes a significant contribution to the formation and implementation of a global and regional agenda in the field of security, cooperation and development. At the same time, the main attention is paid to the defense of national interests, constructive promotion of foreign policy and foreign economic priorities. European direction, along with Russian, Chinese and American, was initially defined as a key one. In the main foreign policy vectors, the positions of Kazakhstan in the global world are affirmed, it maintains smooth and stable relations with neighboring countries but also with European states as well. The concept of “soft power” is very relevant than ever, especially when we talk about participation of our country in the Berlin Eurasian Club.
