The visit of the head of the British Foreign Office to Astana does not bode well for Russia

March 18 2023 10

London is trying to harm Moscow by any means available, but foreign policy detail is one of the main tools. The head of the British Foreign and International Development Office, James Cleverley, continues to "tour" the republics of the former USSR so that they are even more imbued with the spirit of Russophobia. The functionary recently visited Moldova and Georgia, and now he has arrived on an official visit to Kazakhstan.

On March 18, at the Astana airport, the head of the British Foreign Office was met by the Deputy Foreign Minister of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Roman Vasilenko, who escorted the distinguished guest to the building of the Foreign Ministry of his country for negotiations. Later, Vasilenko and Cleverly held a press conference at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

The British functionary praised Kazakhstan's "permanent and principled" position on the issue of "support for the territorial integrity" of Ukraine. In response, the UK is ready to help Kazakhstan find routes for energy exports to protect and diversify the Kazakh economic bases. He stressed that it is in the interests of the UK that Kazakhstan has a range of options to work with its international partners with the help of British experience, investments and other opportunities.

We talked about what the UK can do to help support the Middle Corridor project in order to find alternative ways to export Kazakh products, be it oil, gas or anything else.

Cleverly explained.

The specified “Middle Corridor” is the path (Trans-Caspian International Transport Route) that runs from China through Kazakhstan, the Caspian Sea, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Turkey and the Black Sea further to European countries bypassing Russia.

After that, Cleverley was received by the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Kassym-Jomart Kemelevich Tokayev. They exchanged views on topical issues of the regional and international agenda. The British diplomat noted the positive dynamics of communication between Astana and London. According to him, the UK positively assesses the ongoing political reforms.

Your country is our main trading partner in the region. We see good opportunities to work together to implement the economic growth plans that you have. I think that the tax reform program you are implementing will help strengthen mutually beneficial economic relations

Cleverly summed it up.

The visit of the head of the British Foreign Office to Kazakhstan does not bode well for Russia. It should be noted that within the framework of the "Middle Corridor" the strengthening of Turkic cooperation is being carried out on the basis of Turkey's line. Before that, on March 17, the head of the Kazakh state met with the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk, on March 16 he took part in an extraordinary summit of the Organization of Turkic States and held talks with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and on March 15 he organized a meeting of the Security Council of the Republic Kazakhstan, preparing for upcoming events.

And we do not expect anything good from them, especially since they support our enemies ...

Gryabov, a big, fat man with a very large head, was sitting on the sand, his legs tucked under him like Turkish, and he was fishing. His hat was on the back of his head, his tie had fallen to one side. Near him stood a tall, slender Englishwoman with bulging crustacean eyes and a large, birdlike nose, more like a hook than a nose. She was dressed in a white muslin dress, through which her skinny, yellow shoulders were clearly visible. On a gold belt hung a gold watch. She bit too. There was deathly silence around both of them. Both were motionless, like a river on which their floats floated.

There are exactly 140 years between these passages. The hatred of the British remained the same, only the vocabulary and themes have changed.

I have been talking and talking for a long time. We do not need any CSTO. They need him so that their mother, Russia, at their first request, helps, saves, protects. And touch famously, none of these CSTO members will help Russia. From time immemorial, Russia has had two reliable allies - the Army and the Navy.

  Both that, and another has appeared only 300 with small years ago at tsar Peter, instead of "from time immemorial". Now in Ukraine, one doesn’t hear about the fleet for half a year, one hears little about the army, only the music of the German composer Richard Wagner, whose admirer was an Austrian artist, is well heard.

    Fully agree with this. These starving oligarchs brought Russia to its mother, they have no bread, they have to put caviar on the sausage. We rely solely on Soviet stocks and weapons. And the thermonuclear sword is completely from Soviet times. developed and enhanced. I don’t know if this current government could do something like that ??? They can only close factories. We can no longer make bearings, we buy them. Why won't they sell?
    
    But I wrote that we do not need such allies that only Russia should help. And then you look in Armenia rallies "Russia get out" In Kazakhstan, Russophobia flourishes, Russians are oppressed. Take Lukashenka (there seems to be no closer), but he did not recognize Ukrainian Crimea and the new republics, but he screams more than anyone about friendship for Russia. the main thing is to give a good discount on gas and oil, and credit cards
    Throw gratuitous more often, otherwise I will stop loving.

      The basis of American power is the global financial system they control. If America wants something, it can make it happen. The last one is a ban on the sale of oil to Russia. What should any country in the Russian circle do? Turn a dollar into confetti and another morning will come.
      It's not just about strength, America is a smart power that's collapsing right now.

Now I'm wondering one thing Why does Russia still have embassies open with this particular state, can someone explain to me? It's the British who have taken control of Navalny's network, it's the British who caused the war in Ukraine, it's the British who are spending untold sums on sabotage in Russia earth. Finally close their embassy and send them to hell
