General information

The Permanent Mission of the Republic of Kazakhstan to the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe was established in 1995 as part of the Embassy of the Republic of Kazakhstan in Austria – Permanent Mission of the Republic of Kazakhstan to the International Organizations in Vienna.

In 2008, Kazakhstan opened a separate mission to the OSCE. This decision was taken because of the need to prepare for and to carry out the work of Kazakhstan’s Chairmanship of the OSCE in 2010, including its participation in the “Troika”.

The Permanent Representative of the Republic of Kazakhstan to the OSCE is Ambassador Kairat Abdrakhmanov. The Mission’s staff consists of 25 diplomats and administrative personnel.

This section of the website gives you the Mission’s address and location, the biography of the Permanent Representative and contact information of the staff.
