Fourth session of National Kurultai underway in Burabai

More than 120 proposals were put forward on the first day of the fourth meeting of the National Kurultai (Congress) in Burabai. The initiatives cover a wide range of issues, including socio-economic development, cultural heritage preservation, information security, artificial intelligence development, content in the state language, and youth education. All proposals will be carefully reviewed, with many expected to be implemented. During the discussions, the establishment of an artifact depository was proposed. It is planned to be built at the Alkey Margulan Institute of Archaeology. The depository will catalog all discoveries in a unified digital database and also serve as a museum, showcasing artifacts unearthed by Kazakh archaeologists over the past five to ten years.

«Currently in Astana, 10 hectares of land have been allocated for the construction of a national depository. This long-discussed issue has become particularly relevant. Around 600,000 newly discovered artifacts have been collected, many of which are currently stored without suitable conditions. All of these artifacts will now be cataloged in a unified system with full inventory management and a digital database,» said Sayasat Nurbek, Kazakh Minister of Science and Higher Education.
