From the Paper:

"Today, the Republic of Kazakhstan has emerged as both a growing political and economic powerhouse among the former states of the Soviet Union. As the largest of the former Soviet states (except for Russia itself), Kazakhstan possesses both the natural resources and the economic clout to forge new economic and strategic alliances with former military adversaries, including the United States. Indeed, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization has expanded to almost twice its former membership during the Soviet era, the Kazakhstan is well situated to become a prominent member of the international community in the future."
