Expert publics this week are discussing the completion of a deal between Washington and Astana, which received special customs equipment from the United States. Details became known from the message of the AsiaToday telegram channel.
We are talking about equipment supplied within the framework of USAID standards (United States Agency for International Development — United States Agency for International Development — EADaily).
American servers will be introduced into the customs system of Kazakhstan, which is part of the common Customs space with Russia. But the US-made equipment is designed to monitor Astana's compliance with anti-Russian sanctions.
According to many experts and political scientists, this fact clearly showed the degree of independence of Astana from Washington's decisions. By the way, the deal and the fact of delivery have already been confirmed by the American Ambassador to Kazakhstan, Daniel Rosenblum.
