US reacts to illegal exports

The US could potentially cut aid to Kazakhstan after MiG-21 export scandal

Published: 9/15/1999

Washington may cut financial aid to Kazakhstan, which now stands at $75m per year, in retaliation for the sale of 30 MiG fighters to North Korea, through Czech intermediary Agroplast Liberec. On 12th September 1999, Kazakhstan's Foreign Minister, Qasymzhomart Toqaev, issued a statement saying that the government had no prior knowledge of the sale which, he added, was the result of a "criminal and irresponsible" violation of the existing export control system. Toqaev expressed that government's regret at what had happened. Previously the Kazak President , Nursultan Nazarbayev had announced a criminal investigation of the affair after firing the country's Defence Minister, Mukhtar Altynbayev and several other senior officials for “blatant violations of arms trading laws”.
