“A popular saying goes: ‘Yntymak – myzgymas korgan’ (‘Unity is an unbreakable shield’). We are a nation that looks to the future with confidence and optimism. Thanks to harmony and stability, we have overcome difficult challenges with dignity. By increasing the country’s prosperity, we have broadened the horizons of our development. As a united nation, we have successfully implemented fundamental transformations.

The Constitution clearly sets out the vision of Kazakhstan’s past, present and future,” he added.
