National Kurultai’s 2024 work summarized in Astana

Kazakh State Counsellor Erlan Karin summarized the results of the work of the National Kurultai (Congress) for 2024 during a working meeting with its members. Karin noted that on-site working meetings had been held with the public in a number of regions. Following the Third Session, a 40-point plan was adopted, with a significant portion of the initiatives already implemented. In particular, a law ensuring women’s rights and children’s safety was passed by Parliament and signed by the President, as well as a law to combat drug trafficking. These laws were developed with the active participation of Kurultai members. Additionally, projects in science, education, culture, and onomastics have been implemented as part of promoting national values.

«Another important initiative deserves attention. We have high state awards, such as «Kurmet», «Parasat» and «Barys». However, there were no awards named after prominent figures. This issue was also raised and discussed in the Parliament, and following the Kurultai in April, an important law was passed. As a result, the three degrees of the Aibyn Order were named after three World War II heroes: Sagadat Nurmagambetov, Bauyrzhan Momyshuly, and Rakhimzhan Koshkarbayev,» Karin said.  

The State Counsellor also informed about the results of implementing four major infrastructure initiatives of the Head of State, announced in Atyrau. Summing up, Karin noted that the National Kurultai is an effective dialogue platform and one of the key centres for shaping the public agenda.
