International cooperation     

       Effectiveness of MES RK activity depends on the development of cooperation with international organizations such as UN, NATO, Asian disaster reduction center (ADRC), International civil defense organization (ICDO), IAEA.
      At the current moment MES RK is in close cooperation with UN offices, particularly with UN International strategy for disaster reduction (UNISDR), Office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs (UN OCHA). We are working out cooperation with the World Food Program (UN WFP)
