In order to respond to emergency situations that may arise during the winter period and eliminate their consequences, the city command and staff exercises "Winter-2025" were held for two days in Shymkent. The exercises were aimed at testing the readiness of the civil defense system and developing effective methods of responding to emergency situations. The main task of the exercises was to develop measures for rapid response to emergency situations that may arise in the winter in the city and eliminate their consequences. Analyzing emergency situations from previous years, special attention was paid to possible accidents in the water and energy supply systems and the elimination of traffic jams on highways. On the first day of the exercises, public awareness activities were held. The citywide “Attention!” alert was sounded, and information was broadcast via digital and cable television and radio channels. In addition, the operational teams of the city headquarters modeled scenarios for possible emergency situations and developed recommendations for decision-making in these situations. After the theoretical part, practical activities were held. During this period, measures to prevent possible threats to the city's life support systems were developed. In the practical part of the second day, several conditional emergency situations were eliminated. Due to the abundant melting of snow in the Karatau, Enbekshi and Turan districts, the water level in rivers and canals rose, creating a threat of flooding. Specialists cleaned water channels and canals, strengthened dams, and evacuated the population to safe areas. In addition, work was carried out to ensure the operation of engineering and electrical systems. On the second day, several more conditional emergencies were resolved. A gas pipeline burst and a fire broke out at the facility of JSC "3-Energoortalyk" in the Enbekshy district of the city, as a result of which a number of boilers failed. Rescuers and emergency services evacuated the facility's employees, extinguished the fire, and carried out restoration work. Several small areas were left without gas and electricity as a result of a gas pipeline explosion on the A-2 highway in the Turan district and a transformer failure in the Karatau district. Services quickly organized evacuation and emergency restoration measures. As a result of the exercises, all conditional emergencies were eliminated in a timely manner, and the civil protection services demonstrated a high level of readiness and coordination. As noted by the Deputy Head of the Shymkent Emergency Situations Department, Zh. Zhabayev, the exercises proved that the services are ready to respond promptly to any emergency situation during the winter period. The exercises were attended by operational teams of local executive bodies of Shymkent, departments of the Emergency Situations Department, Police Department, Health Department, as well as personnel of OntustikZharykTranzit LLP, the state institution Kazseldenkorgau, and military units No. 35748 and No. 6506.

– We welcome the full use of the potential of mutual cooperation. Therefore, we have expressed our readiness to work hard in this direction. First of all, special attention should be paid to the trade and economic sphere. To develop trade, it is necessary to search for new opportunities for growth, expand the range of goods, and take measures to stimulate non-primary exports. In this regard, it is important to qualitatively implement the Program for Increasing Mutual Trade Turnover. We expect concrete results from the work of the Council of Regional Heads, which is being established today, as well as the Business Council and other bilateral mechanisms, such as the UzKazTrade joint trading company, - said the President of Kazakhstan. According to the Head of State, there is great potential for cooperation in the agricultural sector. Kassym-Jomart Tokayev proposed, rather than simple trade, to form a full-fledged production chain for processing meat, wheat, and oilseeds, and to jointly develop livestock farming and organic farming. In addition, the President has high hopes for industrial cooperation. – Currently, we have 78 joint projects worth a total of more than one and a half billion dollars ($1.7 billion). It is planned to create more than 15 thousand jobs within their framework. If these projects are fully implemented, our economic and investment integration will significantly strengthen. Today we are launching one of them. We intend to further stimulate Kazakhstan's investments in Uzbekistan. In this regard, we expect the usual support from our Uzbek friends. The "Central Asia" International Industrial Cooperation Center, which is currently under construction, will play an important role in further increasing our industrial capacity, - said Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.

The agenda of the meeting included issues of cooperation between the two countries in the trade and economy, transport and transit, water and energy, and cultural and humanitarian spheres. The Head of State expressed gratitude to President Shavkat Mirziyoyev for his hospitality and noted that the main goal of his visit is to strengthen the friendship between the two peoples, strengthen good-neighborly relations, as well as develop mutually beneficial cooperation in various fields. – Dear Shavkat Miromonovich, thanks to your hard work, many positive changes are taking place in your country. Important initiatives aimed at improving the well-being of the people have been taken. Uzbekistan is a kindred, brotherly country, a good neighbor and a reliable partner for us. The friendship between the two countries is deep-rooted, and the spiritual values of our peoples are common. Kazakh-Uzbek relations are developing rapidly in the spirit of strategic partnership and alliance, - said the Head of State. Kassym-Jomart Tokayev noted that in a period of turbulent international relations, it is necessary to increase the pace of development of multilateral integration.

Kassym-Jomart Tokayev expressed his gratitude to Shavkat Mirziyoyev for the invitation to pay a state visit to Tashkent and for the traditional hospitality. During the meeting, the heads of state discussed in detail the prospects for further development of the Kazakh-Uzbek strategic partnership and alliance. The presidents considered issues of strengthening cooperation in priority areas such as trade, industrial cooperation, transport and logistics, energy, agriculture, water resources, as well as in the cultural and humanitarian spheres. They also exchanged views on topical issues of the regional and international agenda.

Head of State Kassym-Jomart Tokayev presented a new stage of comprehensive modernization of the agro-industrial complex at the Agricultural Workers' Forum, setting specific tasks for financing the industry, digitizing it, attracting investment, and developing exports. According to the President, the agricultural sector remains a strategic pillar of the country's economy, so adapting it to modern technology, high productivity, and global competitiveness is a top priority. This year, the volume of preferential loans granted to agriculture exceeded 1 trillion tenge for the first time in the history of Kazakhstan. This is ten times more than the figure five years ago. To increase access to credit, the state introduced guarantee mechanisms. As a result, 1,300 farmers received loans guaranteed by the Damu Fund, and the problem of financing farmers with insufficient property was resolved. In addition, special attention is paid to the production of domestic machinery: 90 percent of the machinery purchased by farmers is produced in Kazakhstan. In order to renew the obsolete fleet of machinery, preferential leasing is used. The depreciation rate has decreased from 90 percent to 70 percent in four years. As part of the President's visit to the United States, a strategic agreement worth $ 2.5 billion was signed with John Deere, and over the next five years, about 3 thousand modern machines will be produced in our country. At the forum, the Head of State emphasized the importance of digitizing agriculture. Artificial intelligence and new technologies are the main tools for increasing productivity and reducing costs. The number of farms using smart farms, agrodrones, satellite monitoring and AI elements is increasing in the country, but these changes have not yet become systematic. Therefore, the Government was instructed to fully integrate information systems in the agricultural sector and create a single digital architecture. The main tasks in this direction are the formation of a digital system that accurately records grain stocks, modernization of elevators and the introduction of an electronic control system. The role of the national agricultural census for effective management of the industry based on the collected data will also increase. The President noted the urgency of increasing foreign investment in the agricultural industry and the production of deeply processed products. Currently, more than 200 investment projects have been prepared, with a total value of about 4 trillion tenge. If in 2023 the share of processed products was 35 percent, this year it reached 50 percent. Next year this figure should be increased to 70 percent. According to Tokayev, the agricultural sector is still limited to exporting raw materials, while deeply processed products can significantly increase the country's economic potential. Therefore, favorable conditions will be created for foreign investors with advanced technology. Kazakhstan's export potential is also expanding significantly. Today, our country is among the world's top 10 grain exporters and is a leader in flour exports. Kazakh grain is exported to Belgium, Portugal, Norway, Great Britain, Vietnam, Morocco and Algeria, in addition to traditional markets. Exports of vegetable oil, oilseeds and mutton are increasing. Last year, Kazakhstan exported about 18 thousand tons of mutton, entering the top ten countries in the world for this product. The volume of agricultural exports today exceeds $ 5 billion. The President noted the need to widely promote the "Qazaq Organicfood" brand in the international market due to the growing demand for environmentally friendly products. To this end, the country has approved standards for organic products and systematic work is underway. The Head of State also touched upon the issue of developing agricultural export logistics. The global demand for beef will grow to 233 million tons in the next ten years. Kazakhstan can become a significant player in this market. However, the system for implementing exports by air transport has not yet been fully established. Therefore, the Government has been instructed to transform the country's largest airports — the hubs of Astana, Almaty, Shymkent, Aktobe, Karaganda and Aktau — into regional logistics centers for agricultural products. This will strengthen the transport infrastructure and create stable export channels. According to President Tokayev, all of these initiatives are aimed at raising the agro-industrial complex to a new level and transforming Kazakhstan into a high-tech, export-oriented, and competitive agrarian power in the global market. As a result of reforms in the agrarian sector, the country's food security will be strengthened, and agriculture will become a driver of the economy.

At the Agricultural Workers' Forum, Head of State Kassym-Jomart Tokayev gave specific instructions on three main areas of development of the agricultural sector - increasing the potential of livestock farming, regulating land relations, and enhancing water efficiency. The President noted that the potential of livestock farming is not fully realized. There are conditions for raising livestock all year round in all regions of our vast steppe. For this purpose, the state provides subsidies, irrigation of pastures, construction of feedlots, and support for the purchase of pedigree livestock. Last year, more than 60 billion tenge was allocated for this direction. In addition, there is an opportunity to expand the economy through soft loans. The goal is to increase livestock and strengthen Kazakhstan as a major meat exporter. This requires the introduction of a systematic production cycle, proper use of pastures, and a fundamental improvement in the veterinary sector. The President also paid special attention to the land issue. Since 2022, more than 14 million hectares of agricultural land have been returned to the state. The task now is to bring this land into full circulation by the middle of next year. Pastures will be given primarily to rural residents and investors with specific projects. The main tasks in this direction are the revision of the cadastral value, the transfer of land plots through electronic tenders, and the development of a single digital map of land resources. Inefficient land use will now be strictly controlled as an unacceptable problem. The water issue is the backbone of the agricultural sector. The President said that it is necessary to accelerate the modernization of water infrastructure. Currently, 60 percent of water reservoirs are under the control of agriculture, so it is necessary to widely introduce water-saving technologies. In the next three years, water-saving methods should cover at least 1 million hectares of land. Demanding that every penny spent by the state be returned, Tokayev announced that funding would be directed to regions that have increased water efficiency. Agrarian plans and the master plan for water resources management must be fully consistent with each other. According to the President, all initiatives in the agricultural sector should be aimed at delivering tangible results, strengthening the potential of the countryside, and ensuring the country's food security.

This was stated by the Head of State Kassym-Jomart Tokayev in his speech at the Second Forum of Agricultural Workers. "First of all, I would like to congratulate all agricultural workers on their professional holiday. This is truly a holiday of real workers. Farmers, livestock specialists, peasants - everyone makes a huge contribution to the growth and prosperity of our country. I express my sincere gratitude to you for your hard work. Agriculture is a strategically important sector of our economy. "Today, we are holding the second forum dedicated to agriculture. Many qualified specialists from rural areas have specially come to participate in the collegial meeting. Therefore, today's forum can be called a nationwide meeting. The new speakers expressed their serious thoughts, and the proposals must be carefully considered and taken into account." The Head of State: "This year, our farmers harvested 27 million tons of grain" "Agriculture is always in the spotlight of the state. As President, I attach special importance to the rapid development of this sector." Our people do not say for nothing, "If you sow a crop, the country will be full." Last year, we harvested an abundance of grain, achieving a record high in the last ten years. This year, the autumn harvest was also fruitful. Our farmers harvested 27 million tons of grain. Each region contributed significantly to the national treasury. Among them, Akmola region had the highest figure (7.5 million tons). You know that in September I specially visited the region to see the progress of the harvest."

Today, Head of State Kassym-Jomart Tokayev participated in the second Forum of Agricultural Workers and shared his current thoughts on the current state and future development directions of the agro-industrial complex. The forum was attended by more than 2,000 people - farmers, industry specialists, investors, and representatives of public and international organizations. According to the President, the country's economy grew by 6.4% in the first ten months of this year, and agriculture is not lagging behind. Investments in the sector reached 790 billion tenge, an increase of 20%. Over the past three years, labor productivity has increased by 37.3%, and Kazakhstan is in 32nd place in the global food security ranking. At the same time, he noted that the country's agricultural potential has not yet been fully realized. Kazakhstan ranks 6th in the world in terms of pasture land and 8th in terms of arable land. Therefore, the main task is to effectively use the available resources. According to the President, over the past ten years, gross agricultural output has grown more than 2.5 times, from 3.3 trillion tenge to 8.3 trillion tenge. The goal now is to double this figure by 2030. Tokayev emphasized that the village is the root and spiritual pillar of our people, and the development of the agricultural sector paves the way for the development of the country as a whole. The main priorities in the coming years will be quality work aimed at real results, effective reforms, and rational use of resources.

Today, another citywide beautification event took place in Shymkent as part of the traditional "Taza Kazakstan" environmental campaign. The event took place in all districts of the metropolis—Abay, Al-Farabi, Yenbekshi, Karatau, and Turan. The event was organized as part of the "Taza Beysenbi" campaign and brought together thousands of city residents, representatives of public organizations, utility workers, party activists, and young people. Residents actively participated in cleaning streets, courtyards, and public spaces, contributing to the common cause. Such large-scale events not only contribute to improving the environmental situation, but also strengthen the spirit of mutual assistance and social responsibility among city residents. In the Al-Farabi district, cleanup days have become a tradition. Local beautification efforts are carried out regularly. Today's event took place in the Saule neighborhood. Residents, working with municipal services, cleaned up trash in apartment buildings and private homes and tidied up the streets. According to Berik Zhanaev, head of the district administration department, about fifty cleanup days have been held in the district since the beginning of the year. "Residents' interest in such events is growing every year. In winter, we clear snow, and in spring and fall, we plant trees and remove trash. We also regularly hold awareness-raising events to promote environmental awareness among the population," he noted. He also said that about 400 trees have been planted in the district recently. The work is being carried out at the request of residents. In cases where residents are unable to plant trees themselves, akimat staff provide the necessary assistance and carry out the planting themselves. In the Yenbekshinsky District, a cleanup day was held in the courtyard of apartment building No. 54 on Zhibek Zholy Street. Representatives of the Shymkent city branch of the AMANAT party participated in the event. Together with residents, they removed household waste, mowed dry grass, trimmed branches, and whitewashed tree trunks. Zhaksylyk Atayev, a representative of the Yenbekshinsky District Akim's office, noted the importance of such events: "Maintaining cleanliness in everyday life is a manifestation of love and care for one's homeland. If every resident maintains their own yard, the entire city will become cleaner and more beautiful. The "Taza Beysenbi" campaign is aimed precisely at fostering this kind of responsibility," he said. In the rapidly developing Turan district, the cleanup day took place in a unique atmosphere. Young people and veterans of the district participated in the event. Together, they cleared the area of trash and landscaped the surrounding areas. Darikha Ramanova, head of the Turansky District Akimat department, emphasized that the goal of such events is not only cleanup but also fostering a caring attitude toward nature: "We want young people to follow the example of the older generation and pay attention to cleanliness. Keeping the city clean is our shared responsibility," she noted. During the cleanup, fallen leaves were collected, ditches and irrigation systems were cleaned, and trees and shrubs were maintained. Satybaldy Adilbekuly, Chairman of the Veterans' Council, also took part in the cleanup, wielding a shovel and broom. He said that keeping the city clean is a symbol of intergenerational continuity and a manifestation of civic responsibility. Representatives of the Shymkent City Youth Resource Center also actively supported the campaign, conducting a cleanup in the Al-Farabi district as part of the "TazaShym" initiative. Young volunteers collected household waste and tidied up public spaces. In addition, all educational institutions in the city held classes and special lectures aimed at fostering environmental awareness. Schoolchildren were taught about the importance of environmental protection, respect for nature, and the need to recycle household waste. For example, Secondary School No. 59 held an open lesson on ecology. Students actively participated in events and lectures called "Taza Kala," where they learned about the importance of maintaining cleanliness and developing an environmental culture. Today, the national project "Taza Kazakhstan" is not just an environmental initiative, but a long-term program aimed at changing public consciousness and developing a new culture of behavior. Shymkent is a shining example of environmental initiatives. Thanks to systematic work and the support of residents, a new understanding is emerging: "a clean environment equals a quality life." The city administration calls on residents to keep their yards clean, maintain order in public places, and actively participate in the improvement of their city. As a result of today's large-scale cleanup days, streets, courtyards, public spaces, and recreation areas were cleaned up across all districts of the city.

Today, another city-wide cleaning event was organized in Shymkent as part of the traditionally held "Clean Kazakhstan" environmental campaign. The event was held in all districts of the city - Abay, Al-Farabi, Enbekshi Karatau and Turan territories. This time, the events were organized as part of the "Clean Thursday" campaign, in which thousands of residents and representatives of public organizations, utility workers, party members and young people actively participated. City residents joined hands to clean their streets, yards and public areas, contributing to the common cause.

The Saturday clean-up in the new and rapidly developing Turan district of the city was special. The event was attended by young people and veterans of the district, who, together with residents, cleaned up the area. Darikha Ramanova, head of the Turan district akimat department, said that the goal of such measures is not only to clean up the area, but also to encourage residents to take care of nature. "We want young people to follow the example of their elders and pay attention to cleanliness. The cleanliness of the city is our common duty," he said. During the weekend, leaves were collected, ditches and irrigation systems were cleaned, and trees and shrubs were cared for. The Chairman of the Veterans' Council, Satybaldy Adilbekuly, also took up a shovel and a broom with the young people and showed his activeness.

In particular, open lessons on environmental topics were held at secondary school No. 59. Students actively participated in various events dedicated to environmental issues and received extensive information about the importance of protecting nature and the need to form an ecological culture during lectures entitled "Clean City". The "Clean Kazakhstan" national project is not just an environmental measure, but a long-term initiative aimed at changing the minds and lifestyles of citizens. Today, the metropolis is showing exemplary results in this direction for the country. As a result of cleaning measures, the attitude towards nature protection among residents has changed, and the principle of "clean environment - quality life" is being formed. In turn, the city administration calls on residents to keep their yards clean, maintain order and cleanliness in public places, and contribute to the beautification of the city. As a result of today's large-scale clean-up, streets and yards, public areas and recreation areas in all districts of Shymkent have been put in order. These measures, which have had a positive impact on the ecological situation of the city, will continue in the future.
