New Delhi, Jan. 19 : With just four days to go before Kazakhstan's President Nursultan Nazarbayev arrives in New Delhi for significant bilateral talks with the Indian leadership and to attend this year's Republic Day celebrations as India's chief guest, it is as relevant a time as any to assess Indo-Kazakh ties, both at the bilateral and strategic partnership level.
India occupies a special place in so far as Kazakhstan is concerned. Contacts go back to the days when trade was active along the Silk Route that passed from China to the Western world through Kazakhstan.
Astana/Moscow - When Western politicians speak of Kazakhstan with a gleam in their eyes, they're usually not thinking about the country's political conditions.
President Nursultan Nazarbayev has ruled with an iron fist since Soviet times, and there is no opposition in the Central Asian nation's parliament.
Kazakhstan's economic prospects are bright, however, as the region has 5 per cent of the world's energy reserves. What is more, Kazakhstan aims to become the world's biggest producer of uranium in 2009.
