Kazinform International News Agency celebrates 105th anniversary

President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev congratulated Kazinform International News Agency, one of the country’s oldest media outlets, on its 105th anniversary. The Head of State highlighted Kazinform’s special role in chronicling national history, advancing reforms, and shaping Kazakhstan’s image abroad. The anniversary was marked by two premieres - a documentary film and a book dedicated to key milestones in the agency’s history.

«It was very important for us to showcase this transformation and the entire historical journey, because Kazinform’s path is essentially the path of Kazakhstan itself. Today, we see a completely different Kazinform, which has become part of the Kazakh President’s TV and Radio Complex and continues to expand. It is now the largest international news agency, signing memorandums with countries worldwide and with correspondents working across the globesaid the author of the film Maya Bekbayeva.

Kazinform keeps pace with the times. Its publications go beyond texts and images, featuring video content, infographics, and active social media broadcasting. Readers around the world receive breaking news in real time in Kazakh (including in Latin script), Russian, English, Chinese, and Uzbek. The agency’s website is updated daily with about a thousand original articles, supported by an extensive correspondent network that covers all regions of the country and includes international bureaus.

«Kazinform has always brought together the country’s best news journalists. Our reporters excel at swiftly turning information into newswire content and at rigorous fact-checking. For Kazinform, reliable coverage of the most important events has always been paramount. We do not chase sensationalism or speed - accuracy and truth have always been our highest standardsnoted Askar Jaldinov, Deputy Director of the Kazakh President’s TV and Radio Complex.
