Kazakhstan referendum in spotlight of foreign media

Kazakhstan’s referendum has drawn significant attention from international media, with more than 200 foreign journalists from over 30 countries covering the vote.

Reuters highlighted the key points of the new Constitution: the transition to a unicameral parliament—Kurultai—and the restoration of the ​post of vice president.

Chinese media, including CGTN, praised the excellent preparation for the referendum and emphasized that the voting process was transparent and well-organized. Support for the Basic Law demonstrates the maturity of the political system and a high level of civic engagement.

Xinhua published an extensive article noting that Kazakhstan’s new Constitution strengthens the rule of law and protects citizens’ rights and freedoms. The document marks a transition toward a new, modern, and dynamic model of governance.

Meanwhile, Turkish broadcaster TRT World reported a high turnout of Kazakh voters in the referendum and their support for the document. According to the report, this reflects public interest in the country’s future development.

Italy’s Agenzia Nova emphasized that the new Constitution was developed with broad public and expert participation. The document enshrines sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity as immutable values.
