    New U.S. ambassador takes over in Kazakhstan

    ALMATY, Kazakhstan -- A new U.S. ambassador has arrived in Kazakhstan
    and assumed duties in the oil-rich Central Asian nation, the
    U.S. Embassy said Friday.

    John M. Ordway arrived Thursday in the Kazakh commercial center,
    Almaty, where the U.S. Embassy is located, it said in a statement.

    Ordway, a career diplomat, previously headed the U.S. diplomatic
    mission in Armenia. He also served at the U.S. embassies in Russia
    and Poland, and at the U.S. mission to NATO in Brussels, the statement
    said.

    Kazakhstan, a former Soviet republic the size of Western Europe,
    is Central Asia's most economically developed nation.

    It is the only country in the region that is contributing a military
    contingent to the international force in Iraq.
