Let's laugh with Borat says Kazakh leader
Alan Hamilton

At a joint press conference with Tony Blair at Downing Street yesterday, Nursultan Nazarbayev, President of Kazakhstan, peered around the room at a sea of reporters and cameras. He did not see what he was looking for, which was a large black moustache.

“Maybe Mr Borat is here representing Kazakhstan,” the Russian-speaking President said through an interpreter. “I’d very much like to speak to him if he is.”

Mr Nazarbayev, who is regarded by many back home as an undemocratic tyrant, wallowed in yesterday’s praise from the Prime Minister, who paid tribute to his leadership and how he had transformed his country’s economy “in a truly remarkable way”.

“Formal dress is often required visiting the theatres, or attending dinner. Sunbath shorts should not be worn except in the sports ground or beach.”
