37. Translate the following excerpts into Russian:
1. Political interests of any state are directly related to its economic ones. For Kazakhstan with its large reserves of oil and gas it is necessary to master market as well as political mechanisms for strengthening its positions on the world market for energy resources. This will require flexibility and a comprehensive approach in analyzing the dynamic processes in the world energy space. The national interests of Kazakhstan in the international sphere include the whole complex of the country's interests and consist in strengthening the economic position of the Republic and developing equitable and mutually beneficial relations with all countries and integration unions.
2. In compliance with the Message of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan N. Nazarbayev "Kazakhstan on the way to accelerated economic, social and political modernization"; and also with the purpose of increasing transparency and accountability of companies operating in the oil, gas and mining sectors Kazakhstani specialists work on implementation initiatives stimulating efficient use of resources. The realization of the initiatives and sensible use of natural resources may become an important instrument of sustainable economic growth, contributing to the stability of the state as a whole and reduction of poverty. However we clearly understand that an absence of appropriate management can lead to a negative influence on the economy.
3. Energy resources and access to export routes are the priority of domestic and foreign policy of the country, one of the most significant components of national security. Thus energy resources are one of the long-term priorities of Kazakhstan's development. The strategic goal is seen in their efficient use so that the revenues are used to achieve sustainable economic growth and improve the quality of people's lives. The main orientations of the energy policy of Kazakhstan are energy security, energy efficiency and environmental safety. Therefore, the long-term governmental energy policy is built on:
clear-cut and consistent activities made by our Government on realization of energy policy;
commitment to establishing strong and sustainable companies open to constructive dialogue;
adherence to predictable and transparent investment policy.
The oil and gas sector is one of the most dynamically developing strategic industries of our economy. Tax revenues from oil and gas account for one third of total budget revenues.
