ASTANA. Nov 14 (Interfax) - The Kazakh Security Council has discussed intensive suppression of terrorism, religious extremism and drug trafficking at a meeting chaired by President Nursultan Nazarbayev, the presidential press service reported on Wednesday.
"The regional situation and possible scenarios linked with the pullout of the main part of coalition forces from Afghanistan in 2014 require bigger attention to these threats," the report said.
Hence, the president ordered Kazakh law enforcement agencies to step up their interaction with partners from Central Asian countries, it said.
