Kazakhstan’s new Constitution in focus of foreign experts

Foreign political analysts continue to study the draft of Kazakhstan’s new Constitution. Experts view it as a key instrument for adapting the country to modern realities and international challenges. According to Azerbaijani expert Orkhan Yolchuyev, Kazakhstan has demonstrated steady development over the past decades, and the proposed changes could accelerate and ensure long-term economic growth. Strengthening legal guarantees and transparency also makes conditions clearer for investors and contributes to the development of international cooperation.

«The country is entering a new period of genuine rethinking of its political architecture. All of this is taking place amid considerable dynamism, as Kazakhstan now holds the status of a middle power. It is also happening against the backdrop of digitalization, major economic changes, and the emergence of new technologies that are transforming the very logic of state governance. In a broader sense, this reform continues the efforts Kazakhstan has been pursuing over the past several years, all aimed at modernization and openness,» noted Orkhan Yolchuyev, Director of CASPIA Analytical Center, Azerbaijan.

Professor Rakhmetolla Zakarya of Harvard University believes that enshrining the development of science and innovation as a strategic state priority in Kazakhstan’s new Constitution is a timely step that will further enhance the country’s competitiveness and ensure technological sovereignty. The constitutional provisions guarantee freedom of scientific creativity and place responsibility on the state to create conditions conducive to research. The expert emphasized that the new Basic Law will create a long-term framework for advancing education, as well as for supporting universities and research centers.

«This is especially important for young scientists. The question is whether the country will provide stable grants, support for scientific schools, and opportunities to collaborate with international colleagues. If the development of science becomes a state priority, support for young researchers will no longer be a one-time initiative, allowing talented specialists to build their future in their own country,» said Rakhmetolla Zakarya, Visiting Scholar, Harvard University, the U.S.
