The Senate, an Upper House of the Kazakh
Parliament, ratified an agreement, providing for the mutual recognition of
documents on academic degrees in the member states of the Eurasian Economic
Union (EAEU). The agreement will allow holders of academic degrees of
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Doctor in Profile, Сandidate and Doctor of Sciences
not to undergo national procedures for the recognition of documents. This does
not apply to those scientists from the EAEU countries who claim additional
benefits for academic degrees.
“The agreement ratification is
aimed at strengthening the EAEU labor market by ensuring the free movement of
labor resources within the EAEU, as well as creating favorable conditions for
citizens of the EAEU member states to access professional activities. The
adoption of the law stimulates the exchange of scientific personnel and
facilitates the integration of educational systems in the EAEU member
countries, which will enhance scientific connections between universities and
research institutes,” said Altynbek Nukhuly, Member of the Senate, the Upper
House of the Kazakh Parliament.
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan to
cooperate in field of air search
The Senate ratified another
agreement between the governments of Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan on cooperation
in the field of aviation search and rescue. The document provides for
cooperation between the parties during aircraft accidents and crashes, the
interaction of the countries in conducting joint search and rescue exercises,
as well as the exchange of information and experience. The parties have
designated the relevant competent agencies to implement the agreement
provisions.
“Helicopter duty has been set up for aviation
exercises at 27 airfields and landing sites at the Kazaeronavigatsia. If
necessary, the Defense Ministry helicopters, specialists trained according to
international standards, and communication facilities operating round-the-clock
will be employed for rescue operations. Also, a search and rescue coordination
center has been established. Paratrooper groups from the Ministry of Defense
and search and rescue teams from the Emergencies Ministry are prepared to
conduct search and rescue operations,” said Alisher Satvaldiev, Member of the
Senate, the Upper House of the Kazakh Parliament.
