These projects have shown us one thing clearly: exceptional young people are not disabled, they are the owners of unlimited opportunities.

The International Congress of Cardiac Surgeons on the topic "Innovations, Technologies and World Experience: the Future of Cardiac Surgery is in Our Hands" was held in Shymkent, timed to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the Shymkent Cardiology Center. Leading specialists from Kazakhstan, the CIS countries and far abroad took part in the large-scale event. They exchanged experiences and discussed advanced solutions in the field of cardiac surgery. At the opening of the congress, Akim of Shymkent Gabit Syzdykbekov spoke, noting the center’s quarter-century contribution to the development of medicine. "The Akimat always supports good initiatives in the field of medicine, paying special attention to the development of infrastructure, the creation of favorable conditions for doctors and the introduction of innovations. Your experience, scientific research and innovative approaches are a solid foundation for high-quality and affordable medicine. The achievements of this center are the pride of not only Shymkent, but the entire country," the akim said. Within the framework of the congress, a memorandum of cooperation was signed between the National Academy of Sciences under the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Shymkent Cardiology Center. This agreement is aimed at strengthening scientific partnership in the region and taking cardiology research to a new level. Another significant event was the opening of a new scientific center for "Advanced Cardiology Research" on the basis of the existing center, with the support of the National Academy of Sciences. The initiator of its creation was the famous cardiac surgeon, academician Yuri Pya. This is the first such structure in the country, which will allow the development of new methods for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. The center's work will be based on an interdisciplinary approach that combines medicine, ecology, urban studies, psychology and digital technologies. Scientists will not only focus on the treatment of heart diseases, but will also actively work on new solutions for their prevention. As President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev noted in his annual Address: "The health of the nation is the basis of sustainable development. We must not only treat diseases, but also prevent them, relying on science, technology and intersectoral cooperation." These words became the main vector of the congress's work. The congress discussed topics such as minimally invasive and robotic surgeries, 3D modeling, experience in using navigation systems, as well as issues of developing international cooperation and supporting young specialists. Among the key guests and speakers were the President of the National Academy of Sciences under the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan Akylbek Kurishbayev, Academician Yuri Pya, medical specialist Yelzhan Birtanov, and Chairman of the Board of the Shymkent Cardiology Center Darkhan Suigenbayev. The International Congress of Cardiac Surgeons in Shymkent became an important event that will undoubtedly go down in history as an incentive for the development of medical science, strengthening the scientific potential of the region and improving the quality of cardiac care for the population.

Among the initiatives outlined in this year's Address by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, the issue of establishing a unicameral Parliament deserves special attention. This is an important step that will bring about fundamental changes in the political system of our country. The Head of State proposed not to rush into such a reform, but to conduct it through public discussion and to decide on it through a nationwide referendum in 2027. A clear demonstration of a firm commitment to democratic principles. What particularly impressed me was the President's stance that "we will not announce fundamental reforms suddenly, we will not hide them from society." In fact, only by discussing fateful issues with the people can we make fair decisions. This is a manifestation of true responsibility for the future of the country. The significance of parliamentary reform is profound. If the country agrees to establish a unicameral Parliament, then the responsibility of political parties will increase even more than before. Party competition will intensify, and the Majilis will become a platform for real political debate. This, in turn, will increase public trust and strengthen the relationship between the government and society. Also important are the thoughts expressed in the Address regarding entrepreneurs. The Head of State emphasized the need to support business, establish fair competition, and protect entrepreneurs who work honestly. This will pave the way for a new impetus for the economy of Kazakhstan. If entrepreneurs develop freely, the country's well-being will also increase. The intersection of political reform and economic reform is our main advantage. On the one hand, a unicameral Parliament based on the trust of the people is being established, and on the other hand, a powerful economy based on free enterprise is being formed. Both serve the same goal - to create a Just and Strong Kazakhstan. Therefore, the participation of all of us and the active participation of every citizen in implementing these initiatives is extremely important. Tahirbek Nishanbaev Chairman of the Public Association "Uzbek Ethnocultural Society of Shymkent"

– In his Address to the Nation today, the Head of State touched upon a number of social processes. He said that every citizen should be a statesman and patriot. This is a very necessary quality for young people. The President also said that the main indicator of patriotism for today's youth is creativity and innovation. Experts in their field, honest businessmen want to see Kazakhstan as a developed and prosperous state. In general, patriotism in the younger generation is a true aspiration for the future. Nowadays, every citizen has the opportunity to achieve high achievements. For this, it is necessary to work honestly and continue the continuity of generations. The President said, "Therefore, we will always provide comprehensive support to young people who strive for science and education, who are thinking about improving their country and land. All the large-scale work we have undertaken is being done for the bright future of young people. The younger generation will benefit from it tomorrow, multiply it, and continue it with dignity." Indeed, today all conditions have been created for citizens to achieve success. The main task for them is only honest work. We worked to raise the honor of the country. We won medals at the World Championships and the Asian Games. Currently, we are educating students, helping young people find their way in sports and achieve great achievements. Now the young generation must continue the heights we have conquered. This is how we achieve common goals together. Birzhan ZHAKYPOV, Honored Master of Sports of the Republic of Kazakhstan

"In today's Address, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev set the task of transforming Kazakhstan into a digital country within three years. Leading countries in the world are not only strengthening their economies through digital development, but also raising the education and culture of their people to a new level. Our country should not lag behind. The President's statement that "Kazakhstan should become a digital state within three years" is a statement born of this sense of responsibility. As for the library sector, digitization is especially important for us. Many people think that a library is just a place to store books. In fact, it is a treasure trove of knowledge and culture. Today, we are not limited to offering readers only paper books, we are developing a collection of electronic books and trying to give people access to information anytime, anywhere through various online platforms. If our country becomes a digital country, this process will go much faster. For example, if individual book recommendations are provided to the reader through artificial intelligence, each person will have the opportunity to develop in a direction that suits them. This is the image of the library of the future. As the President said, sustainable development and security are not just about the economy. They are also directly related to the mindset and culture of the people. We must not forget our national values. By transferring Kazakh literature, culture, and history into a digital format, we can not only preserve it for future generations, but also make it known to the whole world. Therefore, we fully support the goals set out in the President's Address. As a supporter of the library industry, we are ready to serve in the digital age and provide new opportunities for readers. The most important thing is that technology should serve the people and contribute to the development of education and culture. Only then will we become "digital Kazakhstan." Anar ZHAPPARKULOVA, Director of the Al-Farabi City Scientific and Universal Library

In his Address, the President paid special attention to the development of regions and attracting investment. He said that responsibility in this direction should be assigned to local leaders, and that regional akims should work actively, not just looking at the center. He also emphasized the need to create jobs and develop deep processing industries through the effective use of special economic zones and industrial zones. I consider these initiatives to be very correct. At the same time, the recommendations regarding inspections are also encouraging. It would be much more effective for entrepreneurs if control measures by tax and state authorities were carried out in the form of warnings, rather than punishments. After all, many entrepreneurs' hired accountants may submit incorrect reports due to inexperience or ignorance. In such cases, immediately imposing a fine and punishing them would be unfair. On the contrary, if a warning were issued, it would be both a lesson and an effective way to prevent such mistakes in the future. Therefore, I believe that providing guidance through explanations rather than punishing entrepreneurs for mistakes would give a great impetus to business development. The initiatives of the Head of State to develop the regions, attract investment, open new production facilities, and support small and medium-sized businesses, outlined in his Address, are a great support and direction for entrepreneurs. As the President noted, the leadership of each region should not only look to the center, but also actively work on its own. Increasing the efficiency of industrial zones and special economic zones will create new jobs and improve the living standards of the population. Talgat Iskhakov, deputy of Maslikhat

In 2025, more than 10.9 thousand hectares were allocated for grain crops in Shymkent, of which 10.3 thousand hectares were occupied by wheat and 0.6 thousand hectares by barley. The total volume of harvested agricultural products reached 66 thousand tons - this is a significant contribution to the food security of the region. Farmers pin their hopes on the achievements of local scientists for improved results. A startup project for the production of fertilizers from local raw materials, recognized as one of the best among the works of young researchers, promises to significantly improve the situation. Their discovery could be a turning point for the region, where low-fertility soils traditionally limit crop yields. As noted by the head of the Department of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine of Shymkent, Sagdat Makhanov, the decrease in grain yields is also planned to be compensated for by high-income crops, such as safflower, which is gaining increasing popularity among local farmers. By the way, after the grain harvest was completed, Shymkent farmers almost immediately switched their attention to harvesting safflower. In 2025, oilseed crops in the region were sown on an area of 3 thousand hectares, and the current safflower harvest promises to be one of the highest in recent years. According to farmer Kamysbay Toishibekov, the price per kilogram of safflower seeds this year has reached 130 tenge, which is higher than last year's figures. This allows farms not only to cover costs, but also to invest in upgrading equipment, including purchasing modern combines and tractors. The safflower harvest is expected to be several thousand tons, thereby strengthening Shymkent's position in the oilseed industry of Kazakhstan. The harvest is carried out in an intensive mode: equipment works from early morning until late evening, and farmers compete in speed and quality. This approach not only increases efficiency, but also creates an atmosphere of friendly competition that stimulates progress in the industry. The agricultural sector of Shymkent is actively supported by the state. In 2025, 919 tons of diesel fuel were allocated for spring field and autumn harvesting work at a preferential price, which is significantly lower than the market price. Of the total volume, 616 tons were intended for spring work, and 303 tons for harvesting. This measure reduces the financial burden on farmers and allows them to focus on increasing productivity. Key support will also be provided by the signing by the Head of State of the law on reducing the tax on agricultural land, which will come into force in January 2026. The tax rate for farmers in Shymkent will decrease from 91 thousand tenge to about 1 thousand tenge per hectare. This measure is aimed at reducing the financial burden and stimulating investment in agriculture, which is especially important for farmers working in unstable weather conditions. After the harvesting campaign is over, Shymkent farmers will begin preparing for the next season. An important aspect is the procurement of feed for livestock: 307 thousand tons of hay and feed have been collected to date, which is 93% of the plan. This ensures stability in the livestock sector, where the livestock population continues to grow. Shymkent farmers continue to play a key role in ensuring food security for the region and the country. Despite the drought, farms demonstrate resilience by introducing new technologies and diversifying crops. The successful completion of the grain harvest, a record safflower harvest, government support and innovative developments create a solid foundation for further development.
