U.S. WARMLY WELCOMES KAZAKHSTAN'S ACCESSION TO NPT TREATY (Text: State Department statement) (130) Washington -- Following is the text of a December 13 statement by State Department Spokesman Michael McCurry headlined "Kazakhstan Accession to the NPT":

(Begin text) The United States warmly welcomes today's vote by the Kazakhstan Supreme Soviet to fulfill its Lisbon Protocol obligation to accede to the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) as a non-nuclear weapons state in the shortest possible time.

Vice President Gore is in Almaty and personally congratulated President Nazarbayev, Kazakhstan's parliament and the Kazakhstani people for this significant accomplishment.

Kazakhstan's statesmanlike action, along with Belarus' earlier accession to the NPT, will reinforce nonproliferation efforts in the region and worldwide.
