Nur-Sultan, Aug 29 (Sputnik) Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev on Saturday thanked Russia and the United States for their help in denuclearizing the former Semipalatinsk nuclear test site located in northeastern Kazakhstan and cooperation in nuclear disarmament.

"In general, scientific, technical and engineering work, which ensured the safety of the former Semipalatinsk test site, still remains unprecedented in the world. It should be emphasized that the denuclearization of the test site took place within the framework of Kazakhstan's broad cooperation with countries such as Russia, the US and others, as well as international organizations, primarily the IAEA [the International Atomic Energy Agency]. We express our deep gratitude to our partners for long-term and fruitful cooperation in this strategically important area," Tokayev said.
