Today, President Kassym-Jomart
Tokayev addressed the 33rd session of the Assembly of the People of Kazakhstan
(APK), highlighting three pillars of strategic and successful development:
Unity, Creation, and Progress. Solidarity, understanding, and support have
always been and will remain the core values and guiding principles of the
country’s state policy. This is evident in the coordinated efforts of all state
structures and society conducted from the very first days of the natural
disaster. The Head of State reiterated the priority of returning affected
Kazakh citizens to a normal life, for which all efforts and resources,
including those of ordinary citizens, have been mobilized. He also underscored
the significant work carried out in the regions by the Assembly
representatives.
“During these challenging weeks,
the country is being tested for its resilience and ability to overcome this unprecedented
natural disaster with dignity. Every crisis not only tests us but also reveals
hidden strengths and abilities in each of us, creating new opportunities.
Sooner or later, everything that hinders our progress in any way will be swept
away by the tide of history and fade into oblivion. Thus, the current natural
disaster is not a reason for depression and despondency. The path to progress
is always winding and thorny, but successes and brighter days are sure to
follow setbacks and hardships,” Tokayev said.
The Head of State has also
thoroughly discussed the vision for the APK’s future development. He believes
it is crucial to synchronize the Assembly’s activities with a new humanitarian
and ideological doctrine grounded on patriotism, unity, tolerance, and
intolerance to discrimination. The Assembly will focus on the ideological
education of the youth and will take on the development and creation of new
platforms for interethnic communication. Additionally, it is necessary to
enhance the institutional capacity of the APK by teaching how to establish
clear dialogue with government agencies.
“On my instruction, regional
governors are required to hold meetings on the interethnic situation with the
participation of APK representatives at least once every two months. I have
instructed all regional governors to personally attend key Assembly events. It
is necessary to consistently bolster the role of the Assembly in public
decision-making and in supporting the reforms implemented in the country. To this
end, it is important to develop the scientific and expert potential of the APK,”
Tokayev added.
Next year, the APK will
celebrate its 30th anniversary. As always, the institution of solidarity and
unity intends to focus on implementing the core principle of modernity - ‘unity
in diversity’ - into life.
