Kazakhstan, Astana, May 24 /Trend , A.Maratov/
Any country, including Kazakhstan, should not be afraid of terrorist threats from the Taliban, otherwise the world will become terrible, said U.S. Charge d'Affaires in Kazakhstan John Ordway.
Kazakhstan 's Parliament approved on first reading a bill that the country's troops possibly can take part in the actions of the coalition in Afghanistan. Some political analysts expressed concern that Kazakhstan should expect the response of the Taliban after the Parliament's decision.
"We know how many countries are involved now to resolve the situation in Afghanistan, so there is no need to be afraid of the threats", Ordway told Trend on Tuesday.
"I think that there is a certain risk for all countries involved in the fight against terrorism, regardless of whether they are directly involved in operations in Afghanistan or not. And I think we should all do everything we can to end terrorism throughout the world", Ordway told reporters earlier.
According to him, a relatively small number of Kazakh officers will work with coalition forces in Afghanistan on the staff level.
