The sessions of the National Kurultai (Congress) working
sections were held in Astana. The implementation progress of the initiatives
and proposals from the members of the consultative and advisory body was
discussed. The recommendations covered areas such as strengthening and
consolidating civil society, protecting human rights, cultural and spiritual
development, and addressing social issues. As noted by the Deputy Chairman of
the National Kurultai and Kazakh State Counsellor Erlan Karin, the key
directions for this year’s work were outlined by President Kassym-Jomart
Tokayev in his January interview with the Ana Tili newspaper, as well as in his
speech at an extended government meeting. The significance of the ongoing reforms
in the country was also emphasized.
«Last year alone, over 100 schools were built. The status of
scientists, teachers, and doctors is methodically being strengthened in
society, and the prestige of working professions is rising. Special attention
is being given to the systematic support of youth, the development of mass
sports, and the creative industry. Major projects are being implemented in the
energy and agriculture sectors. This is yet another testament to the effective
interaction between the state and society,» Karin noted.
