The Pakistan Policy Working Group is an independent, bipartisan group of American experts on U.S.–Pakistan relations. The group was formed in January 2008 to assess the state of U.S.–Pakistan relations and to offer ideas to the next U.S. President and his Administration on managing this critical partnership. The group’s efforts were guided by the understanding that Pakistan is and will remain one of the United States’ foremost foreign policy and national security challenges, deserving of heightened attention in the new Administration.
The group met regularly for eight months to discuss topics involving Pakistan’s domestic political situation, counterterrorism, and internal security challenges, relationships within the region, and economic development and assistance. To inform the group’s work, members traveled to Pakistan, where they interviewed government officials, academics, business leaders, and nongovernmental organization (NGO) workers. Various U.S. officials and Pakistani experts also joined the group’s regular meetings to brief members on their areas of expertise. This report presents the findings of those meetings and research trips.
On July 8-10, Kazakhstani Foreign Minister Erlan Idrissov paid an official visit to the United States and held meetings with Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz, National Security Adviser Susan Rice, Deputy National Security Adviser Anthony Blinken, U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman, and Deputy Secretary of State William Burns. In his talks with high ranking U.S. officials the two sides highlighted the robust and growing bilateral ties between Kazakhstan and the United States and reaffirmed their commitment to further deepen the strategic partnership.

Statement of George A. Krol, US Ambassador Designate to the Republic of Kazakhstan
1. Statement of George A. Krol
Ambassador-Designate to the Republic of Kazakhstan
Senate Foreign Relations Committee
July 17, 2014
Mr. Chairman, Ranking Member and other members of the Committee.
Thank for you for the opportunity to appear before you today in
connection with my nomination to be the next United States
Ambassador to the Republic of Kazakhstan.
I am honored by the trust and confidence the President and Secretary
Kerry have demonstrated in me with this nomination. If confirmed, I
will endeavor to fulfill their and your high expectations of me to
advance our country’s interests in Kazakhstan.
As a 32-year career officer of the U.S. Foreign Service and as an
American citizen, I can think of no greater honor and privilege than to
serve our country and represent the American people as Ambassador of
the United States. I am grateful also for the support and inspiration my
family members and friends have provided me through my years of
service to our nation and I count on their love and support in the future.
Encompassing a territory the size of Europe, Kazakhstan possesses
immense natural resources and is located at the crossroads of east and
west, north and south. Its population is young and increasingly
connected with the world around them. For the United States, our
strategic goals are to facilitate and strengthen Kazakhstan’s sovereignty
and independence, its stability, its prosperity and its democracy.
Our Strategic Partnership with Kazakhstan has become increasingly
important as Kazakhstan takes its rightful place on the world stage as a
country of consequence. From the earliest days of its independence 22
years ago, Kazakhstan has made wise decisions. It gave up its Soviet-
legacy nuclear arsenal, which at the time was the fourth-largest in the
2.
world, and has become a world leader in non-proliferation. From the
beginning, Kazakhstan has emphasized economic reform and, as a
result, is now a middle-level-income nation with a financial system that
largely meets international standards. Another wise, early decision was
to provide international education for many of its young citizens, an
investment that has paid off handsomely in both the public and private
sectors of Kazakhstan. Long a provider of humanitarian and
development assistance for Afghanistan, Kazakhstan is now standing up,
in collaboration with our own USAID, its own international
development body, KAZAid. This is a country the United States can
work with.
United States investment in Kazakhstan has grown to roughly $31
billion, making Kazakhstan our most important economic partner in the
region. We have also expanded our ties in the security sphere and in the
areas of education and growth of Kazakhstan’s civil society.
Kazakhstan has been a generous partner in Afghanistan and a vital link
in the Northern Distribution Network, and is a strong supporter of
building greater transport and commercial links across the region and
beyond. Kazakhstan has also directly supported international efforts
regarding Iran’s nuclear program and has been not only a responsible
partner but also a world leader in global nonproliferation efforts, having
given up at its independence what was, at the time, the fourth-largest
nuclear arsenal in the world. As Kazakhstan increases its role and voice
in regional and international affairs, the United States wishes to be
Kazakhstan’s trusted strategic partner.
If confirmed, I would intend to use diplomatic experience in the Central
Asia region where I now serve as Ambassador to Uzbekistan and
previously as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, as well as my
interagency contacts, to lead our mission team in advancing our growing
engagement with Kazakhstan in pursuit of our broader national interests
of strengthening long-term stability in the Central Asia region and the
world, promoting American economic and business interests,
3.
encouraging respect for universal human rights and preventing any
threats to our national security emerging from this region.
Mutual interest and mutual respect underlie our relations with
Kazakhstan. Only the people of Kazakhstan can and should freely
determine their future development without outside interference or
pressure.
Respecting Kazakhstan’s traditions and transition from its Soviet past,
our approach is not to dictate to Kazakhstan its path of development but
to provide the people of Kazakhstan a strong example of a prosperous,
rule-based democracy on which to build durable economic, social and
political stability.
The choice will be Kazakhstan’s to make, but the United States will
always be a reliable principled influence and partner for Kazakhstan’s
efforts to advance market reform and to develop into a free, democratic
society respectful of the rights and choices of its citizens.
Having served as an ambassador twice before, and as a U.S. taxpayer, I
understand the importance of being a responsible steward of the public
trust, of public funds, property, programs, and personnel.
Security of the mission and all its personnel is one of the highest
priorities for any ambassador as is ensuring that the mission is a place
where no one should ever suffer from discrimination, harassment or
exploitation of any sort. If confirmed, I would maintain these high
standards of ethical conduct and security for our missions in Kazakhstan.
Mr. Chairman, I have spent most of my adult life in the diplomatic
profession. I have learned that the key to successful diplomacy is
establishing and maintaining effective relationships. Clear
communication is essential.
4.
At the end of the day, it’s all about building trust. This applies not only
to engagement with foreign governments and societies but also to
engagement with Congress.
If confirmed, I will always be available to this committee, its members
and staff to discuss and work with the committee in pursuit of our
national interests in Kazakhstan.
Again, I thank you for this opportunity and look forward to your
questions.
