The President of Kazakhstan, Kasim-Jomart Tokayev, commenting on the proposal of the President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, said that the republic does not need to join the union state because there is already a structure like the EEU, “Lukashenko offered Kazakhstan to join the union state. I appreciated his joke. I think there is no need for it because there are other integration associations, first of all, the Eurasian Economic Union,” Tokayev said during his working visit to the country’s north on Monday.
“As for nuclear weapons, we do not need them because we have joined the nuclear non-proliferation and nuclear test ban treaties. We remain committed to our obligations under these international documents,” explained Tokaev.
