Senate Speaker publishes article on Kazakh President’s reforms

Kazakhstan continues to maintain its status as a stable and reliable state amid global turbulence. Thanks to the thoughtful and systematic steps taken by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, the country remains a "major island of stability." It has no enemies and maintains friendly relations with all, while steadfastly upholding and defending its own views and national interests. In an op-ed published in the Vremya newspaper, Senate Speaker Maulen Ashimbayev outlined the key components of Tokayev’s model, which, he notes, is guided by a proactive approach focused on a triad of spiritual development - with education, science, and culture at its core. Justice, the rule of law, and public order are placed at the forefront of cultural values. The article highlights that in modern Kazakhstan, national identity takes precedence over politics and the economy in the hierarchy of state priorities - a trend reflected in many 21st-century nations. Ashimbayev emphasizes that Kazakhstan’s political strategy is based on the principles of trust and openness. The country adheres to a policy of neutrality, reinforcing its role as a middle power capable of engaging in equal dialogue with various international partners. He also underscores that Kazakhstan continues to preserve the identity of all peoples living in the country. Overall, Ashimbayev concludes, President Tokayev’s political course strengthens national sovereignty, enhances Kazakhstan’s international standing, and ensures the country’s stable development.
