Kazakhstan celebrates People’s Unity Day

People’s Unity Day was celebrated across Kazakhstan with a series of charitable events, fairs, and thematic gatherings. Volunteers and rescuers who participated in flood relief efforts were honored in all regions of the country. People in the Karagandy region demonstrated their solidarity by helping those affected by the natural disaster. A convoy of trucks with essential supplies was dispatched to the Shet district.

“We are facing challenging times. The entire nation is struggling with the aftermath of the natural disaster. And in these days, the unity and consolidation of our people have been vividly demonstrated, as the Head of State noted. Trucks with over 50 tonnes of humanitarian aid will be sent from this square to the affected regions,” said Vilen Molotov-Luchansky, deputy chairman of Kazakhstan’s Ethnic Assembly in the Karagandy region.

In Almaty, the Day of Unity was also commemorated with a charitable fair and a gastronomic festival. In the square in front of the Palace of the Republic, over ten renowned restaurants showcased a wide range of dishes from various ethnic cuisines, including Kazakh, Turkish, Uyghur, and Armenian. Proceeds from the event will be directed to flood victims.

“As our President noted, our strength lies in unity. Such holidays foster mutual understanding among representatives of different nationalities,” added Dolkuntai Abdulkhalil, chairman of the republican ethno-cultural center of Uyghurs in Kazakhstan.
