On September 3, Kazakhstan for the first time celebrates the Day of the Kazakh Tazy. The date carries particular significance: it was on September 3, 2024, that the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI) decided to grant preliminary recognition to the national breed.The decision was made in Amsterdam, where the Kazakh Tazy was assigned international standard No. 372 and Kazakhstan was officially recognized as the breed's country of origin.For centuries, the Kazakh Tazy has lived alongside the people of the Great Steppe, serving in traditional hunting and becoming an integral part of Kazakh culture and everyday life. Its distinct place in national tradition is also reflected in the FCI's international standard, which recognizes the Tazy as one of the “Zheti Qazyna” — the seven treasures of the Kazakh people.Efforts to preserve the breed and secure its international recognition have intensified significantly in recent years. In 2022, Head of State Kassym-Jomart Tokayev instructed the relevant authorities to take measures to preserve the national breed and promote it internationally.In 2023, the necessary legislative framework was established, defining matters relating to the breed standard, certificate of origin, state support, scientific research, and breeding work.An important milestone was the accession of the Union of Kennel Clubs of Kazakhstan to the Fédération Cynologique Internationale. On August 22, 2023, at the FCI General Assembly in Geneva, the Kazakhstani organization was granted full membership. Its accession was supported by 72 of the 77 countries taking part in the vote.This enabled Kazakhstan to officially submit the national breed for international recognition. In March 2024, a package of documents on the Kazakh Tazy was sent to the FCI and reviewed by the federation's Standards Commission and Scientific Commission.In May of that year, a special single-breed exhibition was held in Astana, where international experts were presented with 100 Kazakh Tazy of different ages, colors, origins and types. FCI specialists assessed the dogs' conformation, movement and conformity to the breed type.Following this work, on September 3, 2024, the FCI decided to grant preliminary recognition to the Kazakh Tazy.“The Kazakh Tazy has lived alongside our people for centuries. The breed has survived to this day thanks to the hunters, breeders, cynologists, dog owners and everyone who has worked with the Tazy from generation to generation. International recognition is an important result of this work. But the work does not end here. Our task now is to preserve the Tazy's breed characteristics, its gene pool, and its natural and working qualities,” — said Yerlan Nyssanbayev, Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Kazakhstan.Today, about four thousand Tazy are registered in the Unified Stud Book of the Union of Kennel Clubs of Kazakhstan. The actual number of dogs is higher: some of them, in villages and remote areas, are not yet covered by centralized kennel-club registration.Specialists continue to work in the regions, holding breeding inspections, gathering information on the dogs' origin and keeping records. This work is necessary to trace the dogs' origin and offspring, and to preserve the Tazy's breed traits and genetic diversity.The Kazakh Tazy is increasingly being presented on international platforms. In 2025, the breed's official presentation took place at the World Dog Show in Helsinki.In June 2026, Kazakhstan presented 12 Tazy at the World Dog Show in Bologna. As part of the FCI World Congress of Judges, a separate professional presentation of the breed was also held for international judges. Kazakhstan's national stand was open at the show, where visitors could get to know the Tazy as well as the country's traditions and culture.Work is also continuing within Kazakhstan. In the Zhetysu region, a building for the National Center for Kazakh Dog Breeds is under construction, organized by the regional administration (akimat) and carried out with the support of sponsors.The center will keep and breed purebred dogs, maintain the Unified Pedigree Book and issue certificates of origin. It is also planned to train experts and specialists in cynology there, and to hold trials, exhibitions, shows and competitions of various levels.On February 20, 2026, a government resolution approved the Comprehensive Plan for the Preservation and Reproduction of Kazakh Dog Breeds for 2026–2036. State and non-governmental organizations will take part in its implementation. The plan provides for work on breed preservation and reproduction, breeding records, training of specialists, and continued scientific and cynological work.On April 30, 2026, the Head of State received Tamás Jakkel, President of the Fédération Cynologique Internationale. The meeting addressed the preservation of the national breed, the building of a sustainable gene pool, and further cooperation with the FCI. The President thanked Tamás Jakkel for his support regarding the preliminary recognition of the Kazakh Tazy.On May 2, a single-breed exhibition, “Kazakh Tazy,” was held in Astana as part of the international kennel exhibition “Astana Winner – 2026” It was attended by FCI representatives as well as Kazakhstani and foreign cynologists.FCI's preliminary recognition is only one stage of the work. Full recognition requires a lengthy observation period to confirm the breed's stability over several generations. During this period, breeding records, health monitoring, and the preservation of breed type, genetic diversity, and the Kazakh Tazy's natural and working qualities will continue.September 3 is not only the date of the Kazakh Tazy's international recognition, but also a reminder of the need to preserve the national breed and pass it on to future generations.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mfa-strasbourg/press/news/details/1284914?lang=ru

чResidents of the villages of kulynjon, Kokzhyra and Akkala have been waiting for years for water to flow from the tap in the house, which has become a daily routine for many. Previously, there was no centralized water supply system in these small settlements. The residents came using wells and depth pumps.The project for the reconstruction and development of water supply networks was launched in 2019-2020. However, at the initial stages of its implementation, a number of problems arose due to poor performance of work. As a result, the project was not put into full operation, and the problem of water supply remained unresolved for several years. Residents have repeatedly raised this issue at meetings with the Akim of the region and the district leadership, which often changed during the same period.The situation changed in 2025. At that time, the new leadership of the district took control of the issue of water supply and resumed work on the facilities. Today, the first results are beginning to appear: social facilities and residential buildings are being connected to the centralized system, and residents of individual villages receive water through centralized water supply.The work is carried out within the framework of the instructions of the head of state to provide the population with 100% quality drinking water, as well as the tasks set by the leadership of the East Kazakhstan region.The first results were felt by residents of the village of Kokzhyra. There are about 140 courtyards here, today more than 20 of them have been connected to the new water supply. In addition, first of all, the school and other social facilities were connected to the water supply system.- Current repairs at the facility have been completed in full. At the beginning of summer, a hydraulic test of the pipelines was successfully carried out, and the tank was filled with water. Today, the facility is fully ready for further operation, — explained in the Department of architecture, construction and housing and communal services of the Samara region.According to preliminary data, more than half of the population of Kokzhyra is ready to connect to the centralized system. Now specialists of the district akimat, rural district and municipal services are conducting explanatory work among the population. Connection of houses to the system is carried out on the basis of requests from residents.For residents who have been waiting for a centralized water system for years, these changes are clearly felt in everyday life.- Before that, we used only water from the well. The water quality, of course, was not very good. Now the long-awaited water supply is laid in our house, and immediately life has become much easier. After water was brought into the house, we also installed an automatic washing machine. My wife is happy that the water is now in the kitchen itself. We thank the mayor of the district and all the citizens who heard our problem, paid attention to the village and helped solve it, — says Murat Baibolatov-Kaysar, a resident of the village of Kokzhyra.Work on the implementation of the water supply project continues. Depending on the readiness of the networks, residents of the three villages will be able to connect to the centralized system in stages. In kulynzhon, social facilities have already been connected to the system, and hydraulic testing of water supply networks is being carried out in Akkala. The work is planned to be completed by the end of this year.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/vko-samar/press/news/details/1284916?lang=ru

Brussels, 2 September 2026 – The Embassy of the Republic of Kazakhstan in Belgium hosted a photo exhibition entitled “Tazy — Faster than the Wind”, marking Tazy and Tobet Day, celebrated in Kazakhstan on 3 September. The exhibition highlighted the Kazakh Tazy, one of the country’s national dog breeds and a distinctive part of the cultural heritage of the Great Steppe.The guest of honour was Yves De Clercq, Executive Director of the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI). The exhibition also brought together Members of the European Parliament, mayors of Belgian cities, ambassadors and other members of the diplomatic corps, as well as representatives of international organisations, cultural and business circles, the media and the Kazakh diaspora.Holding the exhibition in Belgium carried particular symbolic significance, as the headquarters of the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI) are located in the Belgian city of Thuin. On 3 September 2024, the FCI officially granted the Kazakh Tazy preliminary recognition as a breed, with Kazakhstan designated as its country of origin.“The Tazy is much more than a national dog breed. It is part of our history, traditions and cultural memory. Its international recognition marked an important milestone. Our task now is to preserve this unique heritage and make the Kazakh Tazy better known around the world,” said Roman Vassilenko, Ambassador of Kazakhstan to Belgium.The author of the exhibition, photographer and Tazy breeder Abzal Dosyman, presented a series of photographs capturing the distinctive character, grace and unique features of the Kazakh Tazy.For his part, Yves De Clercq highlighted the cultural significance of the Tazy for Kazakhstan and stressed the importance of continued cooperation with the Kazakh side in preserving the breed and promoting it internationally.Following the opening of the exhibition, the Ambassador of Kazakhstan and the Kazakh delegation visited the FCI headquarters in Thuin, where they discussed further cooperation and prospects for promoting the Kazakh Tazy internationally.At the conclusion of the visit, the Kazakh side presented the FCI Museum with a photograph of a Tazy by Abzal Dosyman, along with books dedicated to the breed, as a symbol of friendship and cooperation.The event formed part of Kazakhstan’s continued efforts to preserve and promote the Tazy and Tobet as an integral part of the country’s national historical and cultural heritage.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mfa-brussels/press/news/details/1284655?lang=ru

                                                                                                                                                                 1 September 2026                                                                                                                                                              Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan The meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation continued in the SCO Plus format.Addressing the summit participants, the President commended the high effectiveness of Kyrgyzstan’s chairmanship of the SCO.– Kyrgyzstan has put forward a substantive agenda, bringing together our efforts and proposals under the common motto “Together Towards Sustainable Peace, Development and Prosperity.” I am confident that the outcomes of the Bishkek Summit will give fresh impetus to the achievement of our shared goals and further strengthen the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation as one of the key pillars of stability across the Eurasian space, – the Head of State said.In his remarks, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev highlighted a common strategic objective – the formation of a world order in which the cult of force and confrontation gives way to mutual responsibility, shared development and long-term cooperation.– The SCO’s many years of experience convincingly demonstrate that the “Shanghai Spirit” represents an exemplary model of such cooperation on the international stage. The principles of equality and consensus underpinning the work of our Organisation have rightfully become the “gold standard” for the successful advancement of multilateral cooperation and genuine multilateralism. I therefore propose that the key principles of the SCO be enshrined in a special resolution of the United Nations General Assembly dedicated to the International Day of Multilateralism and Diplomacy for Peace, – the President said.According to the Head of State, the large-scale political and economic reforms carried out in Kazakhstan in recent years have been a response to contemporary global challenges.– The new Constitution, which entered into force on 1 July, has laid a solid foundation for Kazakhstan’s sustainable development. Its provisions have established a qualitatively new system of state governance. These transformations are aimed at strengthening socio-economic resilience and building a Just and Progressive Kazakhstan. A new legislative body – the unicameral Kurultai – has begun its work, – he said.Kassym-Jomart Tokayev thanked his counterparts for their congratulations on the successful implementation of the reforms and the holding of elections to the Kurultai. He also reaffirmed the continuity of Kazakhstan’s balanced, constructive and peace-oriented foreign policy.The President then presented his vision for further improving the work of the United Nations.– The United Nations is subject to considerable criticism. Even if some of this criticism is justified, it does not alter the main point – there is no alternative to this Organisation. Our common task is to strengthen it and enhance its effectiveness. Close cooperation between the UN and regional formats, including, of course, the SCO, serves this purpose. Kazakhstan believes that the United Nations must remain at the core of the international system, while its Charter must continue to serve as the universal foundation of international law, – the President stressed.The Head of State noted that Kazakhstan highly values the contribution of UN Secretary-General António Guterres to upholding international law. According to Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, the reform launched at the initiative of the Secretary-General should make the Organisation more effective and results-oriented while preserving its universal character. At the same time, the success of these transformations depends on the political will and responsibility of the Member States.The President also placed particular emphasis on the growing role of responsible middle powers.– I believe that they can and should contribute to dialogue between different centres and to the development of collective solutions. Their positions and initiatives should be reflected in global governance mechanisms. Kazakhstan is ready to actively contribute to this process. The institutional renewal of the United Nations is impossible without strengthening preventive diplomacy. Collective efforts are needed to foster a culture of conflict prevention and the peaceful settlement of disputes. In line with this approach, in July of this year Kazakhstan supported the initiative of the People’s Republic of China by becoming a party to the Convention on the Establishment of the International Organization for Mediation, – the President said.According to the Head of State, global stability increasingly depends on the responsible development of artificial intelligence.– Universal rules are needed to unlock the constructive potential of artificial intelligence, prevent its uncontrolled use and narrow the digital divide. At Kazakhstan’s initiative, the UN ESCAP Asia-Pacific Centre for Digital Solutions will be established in Almaty. The Centre can and should contribute to scaling up best practices, primarily for the benefit of developing countries, – Kassym-Jomart Tokayev said.Water security was identified as one of the priorities on the global agenda.– Reliable access to water is a determining factor for food, energy and social stability, as well as economic development. However, global water governance remains fragmented. Dozens of UN entities deal with water-related issues, yet there is still no universal intergovernmental organisation with a comprehensive mandate. Kazakhstan has therefore proposed establishing an International Water Organization under the auspices of the United Nations. Its task would not be to duplicate existing mechanisms, but to coordinate efforts, ensure continuous intergovernmental dialogue, mobilise resources and develop coordinated solutions. A regional complement to this global initiative could be an SCO Centre for Water Issues Analysis. I count on the support of the SCO Member States both for the establishment of the International Water Organization within the United Nations framework and for the creation of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation Centre for Water Issues Analysis, – the President of Kazakhstan said.In conclusion, the Head of State emphasised that the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation has every reason and opportunity to ensure the long-term and successful development of states across a vast part of the Eurasian continent.– Our shared responsibility is to establish the principles of equal and indivisible security, sovereign equality and mutual respect as an integral part of international relations. I am confident that the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation will make a worthy contribution to building a safer and more sustainable world order, and Kazakhstan will work constructively with all partner states within the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation precisely in this spirit and in this direction, – Kassym-Jomart Tokayev concluded.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mfa-budapest/press/news/details/1284630?lang=ru

Today, a meeting was held under the chairmanship of the region's akim, Murat Ergeshbayev. The agenda included the issue of applying a reduction coefficient for Aksa Energy Qyzylorda LLP.In accordance with the instructions of the Head of State, a new thermal power plant has been built in Kyzylorda, generating 240 MW of electricity and 277 Gcal of thermal energy. The project attracted 215 billion tenge in investments, and this year the facility has been fully commissioned.In May, the station underwent certification, as a result of which the electrical capacity of 255 MW was confirmed. On June 23, during scheduled repair work on the 220 kV electrical network of KEGOC JSC, the emergency control system activated, and the operation of the steam turbine was temporarily halted. Currently, the turbine has been sent to the manufacturer and is being restored.In connection with this, the Financial Settlement Center for the Support of Renewable Energy Sources is applying a reduction coefficient.Over the past three months, a difference of approximately 1.8 billion tenge has arisen for the specified payments.The technological disruption occurred due to the impact of external factors. In this regard, it has been proposed to review the application of the reduction coefficient for the Aksa Energy project, as well as to improve the regulatory and legal procedure for applying this coefficient in cases of disruptions caused by external factors.These measures will ensure the stable operation of the energy facility, improve mechanisms for supporting investment projects, and contribute to enhancing the investment climate in the region.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kyzylorda/press/news/details/1284517?lang=ru
