Similarly, when asked generally if they felt positive or negative about Kazakhstan a total of 93% replied they feel ‘fairly’ or ‘very’ positive about their country.

The Eurasian Council on Foreign Affairs (ECFA) is a recently established Brussels-based think tank dedicated to providing a forum for engagement between Central Asia and the European Union. ECFA seeks to contribute to the European policy debate by regularly publishing analytical papers addressing a wide variety of topics such as regional policy and economic and cultural developments.

The fieldwork was carried out between 16th March to the 3rd April 2015. Results were weighted to ensure the sample was representative for this profile.
