International media on Kazakhstan’s political reform

The initiatives of President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev announced at the National Kurultai (Congress) continue to attract interest and spark discussion in foreign media. International outlets highlight the systemic nature of the proposed constitutional reforms and their role in the country’s further political modernization. In particular, Moldova’s news agency Infotag reports that President Tokayev presented a broad package of constitutional initiatives envisaging changes in the structure of power and updating the institutional model of public administration.

Uzbekistan’s Daryo.uz focuses on the proposal to introduce a new position - Vice President of Kazakhstan. As the media outlet notes, this initiative is proposed to be enshrined in the Constitution and is viewed as a logical continuation of the established political structure. The Vice President would be appointed by the President with the consent of Parliament, while the scope of responsibilities would be determined by the Head of State. Foreign publications emphasize that the proposed changes are aimed at optimizing public administration mechanisms and forming a stable model of political succession.
