Kazakhstan’s flag was raised to the sound
of the national anthem at New York City's financial center on Wall Street. The
ceremony was organized in the largest American metropolis on the eve of the Republic
Day celebrations in Kazakhstan. Attendees included representatives of the
Kazakh diaspora, business and student communities, diplomatic corps, as well as
the mayor of New York City. The guests also enjoyed the sounds of the dombyra,
a traditional Kazakh musical instrument.
«The national flag has always been and
remains a symbol of unity and courage for our people. I am very pleased that we
were able to organize such an event with our American colleagues,» noted Rauan
Tleulin, Consul General of Kazakhstan in New York, U.S.
«Recently I have traveled to Kazakhstan to
support Dimash at his two mega concerts in Astana. It’s my third trip to
Kazakhstan. So, I really love the culture, the country, the people. It’s very
warm and welcoming,» shared New York City resident Tanya Yang.
