MULTY-VECTOR POLICY OF KAZAKHSTAN AND MASS MEDIA

EXTERNAL POLICY OF THE COUNTRY AND PRESS


The shape of the world has changed strongly for the last decade. The Republic of Kazakhstan, being on the way of transit development, conducts search of its place in a political, socio economic landscape. The external and internal policy of our country have conceptually formed for years of independent development
At dawn of formations of the state the President of RК N. А. Nazarbaev emphasised, that the present realities, geographical situation of Kazakhstan, ethnic structure of its population dictated necessity of multi-polar orientation to West and East, distant and near neighbours. Lineage to Turkic-language world, religious community with Islamic states, historical roots and the psychological features of national character cause belonging to East. However it would be simplification to consider, that in definition of our country as the "Eurasian" the part "euro" specifies only to geographical situation of Kazakhstan. There exist some factors of demographic and political property, predetermining the importance of European principles in the mentality of our state.

The beginning of new century has coincided with occurrence of the new tendencies in external policy of Kazakh - political pragmatism directed on strengthening and development of bases to independence and sovereignty of our country. The outlines of external policy have become apparent. The principle of multi-vector diplomacy of Kazakhstan was formulated which at the present stage is the base of external - policy activity of the country.

Mass media of Kazakhstan pays more attention to such sides of multi-polar policy of our state, as
-  Consistent defending of national interests;
-  Ensuring favourable external conditions for continuation economic reforms and democratic transformations in the country;
-  Continuation of lines of constructive interaction and development, equal in rights partnerships with other states;
-   Assistance to consolidation of the international stability and safety.

Democratic bases of forming order in the world.

Priorities of external policy of Kazakhstan, as is known, were formed under influence of such factors of long-term stability, as a geographical situation and its national interests. Changes, taking place in the world connecting with development of new technologies and process of globalisation, occurrence of threats of planetary character, formation of new economic design, intensification of the international co-operation at a regional level - all this compels to bring in corrections into external political course of our state, requires fast and flexible respond, development and realisation of new approaches to the decision of essential international problems. But at the same time the base principles of external policy remain constant.

In political sphere the drift to globalisation of the international relations has designated. The role of mass media and its influence on all parties of life of a society will considerably increase in the ХХI-th century. Due to its geo-strategic position, in the nearest historical prospect the occurrence in Kazakhstan trans-national information channels, newspapers and magazines of the international class is possible which will dictate the conditions of the game, promote strengthening of trust and mutual understanding between the peoples.
