Three new regions will appear in Kazakhstan. Kassym-Jomart Tokayev stated this in his Address. The head of state proposed to create the Abai region, the city of Semei will become its center, and the center of the Ulytau region will be Zhezkazgan. Almaty region will be divided into two - Zhetisu and Almaty. The president also said that if the residents of Kapshagai want to give their city the name of Dinmukhamed Kunayev, then he is ready to support this.
“We will continue to strengthen our national identity, returning the original geographical names and reviving the memory of our great figures. For example, the city of Kapshagai is closely connected with an outstanding personality in the history of our people - Dinmukhammed Kunayev. And if the public proposes to name this city after him, I will support such a proposition. I say all this based on the proposals and opinions of citizens. If local residents support these initiatives, then they should be put into practice in the near future. I instruct the Government to carefully study the issues of the administrative-territorial structure and propose ways to implement these initiatives. This is not an easy task, you need to approach it, having thought through all the details,” said Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, President of Kazakhstan.
