awards to industry professionals on behalf of the President. He emphasized that
the development of the sector remains a government priority. Efforts will

kenshisi and Kazakhstannyn enbek sinirgen onerkasip kairatkeri. In total, the
achievements of more than 600 mining and metallurgical professionals from
across the country were recognized.

efforts of all my colleagues. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to
President Kassym-Jomart Kemelevich Tokayev for this high honor and for
