Kazakhstan's Senate yesterday approved the creation of an anti-drug
information coordination center in Central Asia.
A multinational agreement to
set up the center was signed by Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia,
Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan on July 24, 2006, in Astana, the capital
of Kazakhstan.
The center will be based in Almaty and will be funded by
certain donor nations, international organizations and the seven participating
countries, said an official from the Mazhlis (Lower House) of Kazakhstan's
parliament.
The agreement will take effect after it is signed by Kazakhstan
President Nursultan Nazarbayev.
