Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev paid a working visit to the Turkistan region. The Head of State visited the Mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi, where he honored the memory of the spiritual teacher of the Turkic world. He was also briefed on the comprehensive research work being conducted at the mausoleum, which is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Additionally, at the new House of Friendship in Turkistan, President Tokayev held a meeting with intellectuals and members of the Assembly of the People of Kazakhstan.
«I specifically came to the sacred land of Turkistan. The region has a bright future. I would like to thank our veterans who set an example for our youth. We must prioritize supporting the younger generation. We need to work together for the good of our country. You are all well aware of the current situation. There are various external risks. The Turkistan region is home to representatives of many nationalities, and the city of Turkistan itself is beautiful, clean, and well-maintained,» Tokayev said.
The Head of State also
visited the Bilim Innovation boarding school, which specializes in natural
sciences and mathematics. Earlier this year, this educational institution
relocated from Kentau to a new building in Turkistan. Students of the Bilim
Innovation lyceum have repeatedly won prizes in national and international
subject Olympiads, as well as in sports competitions. Notably, over 500
students are currently enrolled in the school. As part of the Comfortable
School national project, a total of 29 schools are under construction in the
Turkistan region, with an additional 13 educational institutions scheduled for
completion this year. President Tokayev also toured the Ice Palace, which has
been built to modern standards. Young athletes can practice short-track speed
skating, figure skating and ice hockey simultaneously throughout the year,
thanks to special technology that allows for changing the shape of the rink.
The young athletes demonstrated their skills to President Tokayev, who wished
them and their coaches good luck. In turn, the hockey players of the Turan
Tigers club presented the Head of State with the team uniform.
