Speaking in Kazakhstan's capital Astana, Nazarbaev said Kazakh authorities are "closely watching" foreign and domestic NGO's to make sure they are operating in accordance with Kazakh law.
Some former Soviet republics accuse NGO's of working with Western governments to fund and train opposition groups that brought down the governments in Georgia, Ukraine, and Kyrgyzstan.
Nazarbaev, who has ruled Kazakhstan since 1990, is seeking another seven-year term in office in the 4 December election.
Last month, Nazarbaev warned against making "hasty" political reforms in Kazakhstan. He said unprepared radical political reforms could destabilize the economic, social, and political fabric of the country.
