multi-sectoral cooperation with the United States was established with the first term of Kazakhstan's
acquisition of state sovereignty, the basis of communication was formed. The issue of nuclear weapons in
Kazakhstan and their non-proliferation to other States, gradual elimination or withdrawal from the territory of
the Republic became particularly important among the first relations with the United States. From the point of

the USA in nuclear disarmament, non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and the elimination of its
entire infrastructure in the Republic, the fight against international terrorism, illegal trafficking in weapons of
mass destruction, the breakdown of drugs and organized crime. As a result of bilateral and other affairs, we
