Kazakhstan's National Security Committee, known as UQK, was officially established on June 13, 1992, marking a significant step in the country's efforts to ensure national security and stability following its independence. The UQK encompasses several critical components, including the Service of Internal Security, Military Counterintelligence, and the Border Guard, which collectively work to protect the nation's sovereignty and maintain internal order. Additionally, the committee includes several Commando units that are tasked with specialized operations to counter threats. A key element of the UQK is its Foreign Intelligence division, known as Barlau, which is regarded as the most vital part of the organization. This division plays a crucial role in gathering intelligence and conducting operations that safeguard Kazakhstan's interests on the global stage. The leadership of the UQK is under the direction of Nurtai Abykayev, who has been instrumental in shaping the committee's strategies and operations. The establishment of the UQK reflects Kazakhstan's commitment to building a robust security framework to address both internal and external challenges in a rapidly changing geopolitical landscape. #mooflife #mof #MomentOfLife #Kazakhstan #NationalSecurityCommittee #Uqk #NurtaiAbykayev #ForeignIntelligence
