Presented his credentials to the association’s Secretary-General Le Luong Minh in Jakarta on January 24, the diplomat said Kazakhstan - one of the largest countries in Asia and member of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) and the Economic Cooperation Organisation (ECO) – highly values the role of ASEAN in the region and the world.
