British PM arrives in Kazakhstan

    British Prime Minister David Cameron has arrived in the Kazakh capital, Astana, becoming the first serving British prime minister to make an official visit to the energy-rich Central Asian nation, reports RFE/RL.
    Cameron flew to Kazakhstan after visiting Pakistan and Afghanistan.
    It is expected Cameron will discuss the situation in Afghanistan with Kazakh officials, including President Nursultan Nazarbaev.
    NATO has been using railway lines through Kazakhstan to supply troops in Afghanistan.
    Those same railway lines will be used to withdraw many of those foreign troops and their equipment as the planned drawdown of foreign forces in Afghanistan starts in 2014, CA-News said.
