В ходе визита казахстанской делегации в Кабул, глава делегации заместитель Премьер-министра – министр национальной экономики Серик Жумангарин передал афганской стороне вторую половину гуманитарной помощи от народа Казахстана народу Афганистана, состоящую из лекарственных средств, а также встретился с заместителем Премьер-министра этой страны Абдулом Гани Барадаром.Казахстан – крупнейший поставщик гуманитарной помощи для Афганистана в ЦАНачиная с 2021 года, Казахстан направил в Афганистан десятки тыс. тонн муки, продовольствия, лекарств, предметов быта и теплой одежды. Более того, в марте этого года в Алматы открылся региональный центр ООН по Целям устойчивого развития для стран Центральной Азии и Афганистана. Как отметил Серик Жумангарин на встрече с Абдулом Гани Барадаром, основная цель создания регионального центра – активизация социально-экономического и делового сотрудничества стран ЦА с Афганистаном. Страны Центральной Азии выразили поддержку казахстанской инициативе. Товарооборот в $3 млрд за счет диверсификации Казахстан входит в десятку основных торговых партнеров Афганистана. Традиционными казахстанскими товарами поставок являются зерно и мука. В 2024 г. отмечен значительный рост экспорта казахстанского сахара на рынок Афганистана – 143 тыс. тонн, что в разы больше чем в 2023 г. (19,1 тыс. тонн). Есть потенциал в наращивании поставок кондитерских и мучных изделий на афганский рынок. Казахстан также заинтересован в поставках ранних афганских овощей на рынки столицы.В конце прошлого года страны подписали дорожную карту по увеличению товарооборота до $3 млрд. Учитывая, что территория Афганистана имеет огромный потенциал по добыче различных полезных ископаемых, достичь заявленных объемов взаимных инвестиций планируется за счет разведки и добычи ресурсов месторождений Афганистана. Есть большой интерес казахстанского бизнеса вкладывать средства в поиск перспективных участков недр. 14 апреля в Афганистан прибыла группа специалистов-геологов, инженеров из Казахстана, которая, при поддержке Министерства горнодобывающей промышленности и нефти Афганистана, посетила ряд месторождений. Как отметил вице-министр промышленности и строительства РК Иран Шархан, специалисты отобрали 130 кг проб руды в провинции Нуристан с потенциальных месторождений с содержанием бериллия, свинца и цинка. Теперь для более детального анализа в лабораториях пробы будут направлены в Казахстан, и, после получения результатов, казахстанская сторона готова приступить к более глубокому формату переговоров для дальнейшей разработки месторождений.Новые торговые дома в Казахстане и АфганистанеДля активизации обозначенных в дорожной карте мероприятий Серик Жумангарин предложил заместителю Премьер-министра Афганистана открыть торговый дом Казахстана в Кабуле. Абдул Гани Барадар поддержал это предложение, отметив, что афганская сторона желала бы открыть свой торговый дом в Казахстане. Также с казахстанской стороны предложено рассмотреть возможность поставки казахстанских автобусов производства ТОО «QazTehna» в случае заинтересованности афганской стороны. Новые торговые дома будут способствовать активизации взаимных инвестиций по разным направлениям сотрудничества. В этот же день Серик Жумангарин встретился с министром связи и информационных технологий Афганистана Наджибуллой Хаккани. Он отметил, что казахстанские компании проявляют интерес к участию в строительстве инфраструктурных и телекоммуникационных проектов в Афганистане. Предложил совместное участие в работах по прокладке оптического кабеля при строительстве участка новой железной дороги Торгунди – Герат.На встрече с министром торговли и промышленности Нуриддином Азизи обсуждены возможности диверсификации взаимного товарооборота двух стран.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/980930?lang=kk

The National Guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan is not only a place of service — it is where dreams are born. One such dream belongs to Batyrkhan Sagidolla, a patrol officer serving in military unit 5573, who aspires not only to build a successful career, but also to one day announce the Victory Parade, one of the most important celebrations in the country.Batyrkhan was drafted from the Pavlodar region and is now faithfully performing his duties in Astana, ensuring public safety, law and order, and peace on the streets. But behind the polished uniform, focused gaze, and military discipline, lies a man deeply passionate about the art of speech. His velvet, deep-toned voice has already become the hallmark of his unit.In his free time, Batyrkhan practices diction, reads poetry, records voice-over pieces, and studies archival recordings of legendary announcers such as Yuri Levitan and the golden voice of Kazakh radio, Anuarbek Baizhanbayev.Batyrkhan’s dream is simple, yet bold and sincere — to one day become the voice of a military parade. He does not seek fame or official recognition — he simply believes that his voice will one day resonate alongside the marching columns of servicemen and the applause of a grateful nation.His comrades already respectfully call him “our Levitan.” His voice is heard at internal events, ceremonial formations, and rehearsals. The command of the unit supports Batyrkhan’s ambition, believing that it is people like him who shape the modern image of the National Guard — strong, educated, and looking toward the future.The story of Batyrkhan Sagidolla is a vivid reminder that behind every soldier stands a person with a dream. It is the story of a voice that, for now, echoes within the walls of his unit — but hopes to one day be heard across the entire nation. And who knows — perhaps in the coming years, we will hear his powerful, confident, and proud voice on the main square of Astana, representing the true spirit of a Guardsman. Press Service of the National Guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of KazakhstanSource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kvv/press/news/details/980696?lang=kk

Borovoe, Akmola Region, 14 March 2025 - During the fourth meeting of the National Kurultai, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev reviewed the socio-political reforms initiated following his March 2022 Address, highlighting the significant contribution of Kurultai members to the country’s modernisation efforts.The President opened his remarks by addressing the tax reform, which has sparked active public debate.“The tax system forms the foundation of the state. Without adequate budgetary resources, the government cannot fully perform its functions, including meeting its social obligations. The Government has proposed new approaches to tax reform, which are, on the whole, sound and take into account key economic and social factors.There is a growing understanding, both within expert circles and among the public, of the need to raise the rate of value-added tax. While some criticism has been voiced—particularly in relation to VAT—such opinions often overlook the realities we face.Many countries, for various reasons, refrain from undertaking large-scale social obligations. In contrast, in Kazakhstan, social spending accounts for over half of the national budget. Ours is a social state, and we will continue to invest in education and healthcare—this is our constitutional responsibility,” the President stated.President Tokayev further addressed a wide range of issues raised by National Kurultai members, offering his views on public ethics regulation, countering harmful ideologies and fraudulent schemes, the ideological direction of domestic cinema and animation, improvements in women’s correctional facilities, and revising penal legislation relating to pregnant women and mothers of young children. He also underscored the importance of developing the vocational education system.Drawing attention to gaps in areas such as onomastics, the system of state and departmental awards, the eradication of social ills, and the strengthening of civil society, the Head of State called for the preparation of a comprehensive policy document to streamline ideological efforts in domestic affairs.The President emphasised the pivotal role of culture in reinforcing national identity and noted the growing public interest in theatre in Kazakhstan. He urged greater focus on developing regional theatres and encouraged business involvement in this cultural revival.Ahead of the 180th anniversary of Abai Kunanbayuly’s birth, President Tokayev instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Otandastar Foundation, in cooperation with the Ministry of Culture and Information, to continue efforts to establish Abai Institutes abroad. He proposed that these should evolve into a global network of cultural and educational centres, akin to the Confucius, Goethe, and Cervantes Institutes.In addition, the President set forth objectives to support the initiatives of the Kazakh Tili International Society, promote the inclusion of the nation’s documentary heritage in UNESCO’s Memory of the World Register, integrate the national digital archive into artificial intelligence systems, and intensify historical research activities.The meeting also addressed key aspects of major investment and infrastructure project implementation. President Tokayev stressed that the state’s primary objective is to support initiatives that drive regional economic growth and address disparities in regional development. This year, funding for the real sector of the economy will double to 8 trillion tenge.He underlined the necessity of efficient and high-quality implementation of regional projects in education, healthcare, tourism, and sport.“Strong regions make a strong nation—this is a cornerstone of my political platform. In line with this principle, the Government has decided to retain the social tax within regional budgets. However, regional akims must ensure that budgetary resources are spent wisely and with a clear focus on socially important initiatives that directly benefit the population.I am confident that the proposals and projects presented today will contribute to balanced regional development and the continued advancement of our nation,” the President affirmed.In conclusion, President Tokayev reflected on current global geopolitical developments and shared his vision of Kazakhstan evolving into a resilient and influential state, capable of withstanding any challenges.He emphasised the importance of having a clear vision of the achievements that will define Kazakhstan as it approaches the 40th anniversary of its independence. Among the key drivers of sustainable national development, he identified digitalisation and artificial intelligence, energy, the agro-industrial sector, and the development of human capital.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mfa-pretoria/press/news/details/980434?lang=kk
