Even more it got money to improve situation. The US Nuclear Regulatory Agency devoted $160000 for a study of the radiological situation at the Semipalatinsk test site. Japan became the initiator of resolution for International Cooperation and Coordination for Rehabilitation of Population and Ecology, as well as for Economic Development of Semipalatinsk region. .
Another advantage which our country got with elimination of nuclear weapons is replacement of short-term military security for a long-term one, cause the possession of nuclear arsenal gives only short -term security. While treaties and agreements gave Kazakhstan long-term guarantees. The first treaty signed by Kazakhstan was the Agreement of Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Help between Kazakhstan and Russia (25May 1992), based on the idea of mutual respect of territorial integrity and sovereignty, peaceful resolvement of problems and inapplication of force, including economic instruments of power. On September 13, 1993 the Agreement of Friendship, Mutual Unit and Cooperation between Kazakhstan and France was signed. This treaty gave our country economic and democratic support, as well as guarantees of nuclear security. The Charta on Democratic Partnership between Kazakhstan and USA (signed on February 14, 1994) was regarded by Almaty as support of democratic process and security guarantee from the side of the last superpower. Moreover, Kazakhstan received security guarantee from China (February of 1995), making its military position less vulnerable, because all those agreements said that the countries will never use any armament against the Republic of Kazakhstan. .
In addition abolishing nuclear weapons, Kazakhstan stabilized its political position in the world arena. The state showed the world its negative attitude toward the spread of nuclear arsenal. It pointed out that the foreign policy of our country is based on peaceful coexistence and devotion to civilized methods of conflict resolution.
