The goals set by our President are a solid foundation for the development of our state in a new era. To achieve these goals, each of us must work hard and contribute to the well-being of the country. This was stated by the mayor of Shymkent, Gabit Syzdykbekov, speaking at the meeting to discuss the Address of the Head of State. The meeting, held at the city administration, was attended by representatives of various state bodies, deputies of the city council, members of the Public Council, representatives of the intelligentsia, heads of higher education institutions, representatives of education, culture and other spheres. – Each Address of our President determines the specific direction of the country's development and strengthens the people's confidence in the future. In his Address, the Head of State raised topical issues related to the country's economic prosperity, social stability, the development of science and technology, and the establishment of a just society. All the tasks set by the President are aimed at improving the quality of life of our people and strengthening the power of our state, – Gabit Abdimazhituly. During the meeting, state and public figures, heads of universities, scientists, experts, and representatives of various industries shared their thoughts on the important issues raised in the Address of the Head of State. – One of the most important issues that the President noted is attracting significant investments to our country. This is the main mechanism for the sustainable development of the economy and improving the quality of life of the population. As the Head of State noted, attracting investments is a direct task not only of central bodies, but also of local executive authorities. The President clearly stated that akims are personally responsible for the investment climate in the regions, - said the Chairman of the Shymkent city maslikhat, Bakhadyr Narymbetov. Then, Onalbay Ayashev, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Zhumabek Tashenov University, emphasized that science is the strongest pillar of the country's development, noting that artificial intelligence and digital technologies are the driving force of that science in the new century. – Artificial intelligence is not just a technological tool. It is a deep synthesis of knowledge and science. In our time, neither science nor the economy can progress without qualified specialists who have received a high-quality education and are well-versed in the IT sector. Therefore, the President's instructions on training a new generation of specialists and closely linking digitalization with science are a strategic decision for the development of the country, - said Onalbay Ayashuly. According to him, large-scale measures are being implemented in our country to support education and science. In recent years, branches of the best foreign universities have been opened, cooperation with international scientific centers has been strengthened. This is a clear manifestation of the integration of Kazakhstani science into the global scientific space. At the same time, the volume of funding for science has increased, and grants allocated for scientific projects are increasing exponentially. These steps provide a great opportunity for young scientists to embark on new research. And the poet and martial artist Birzhan Baituov said that the President put a lot of thought into our people in this year's Address. – Intolerance of injustice is a reflection of civic pride, not turning a blind eye to illegality is a force that strengthens the country. Only if we firmly adhere to this will the foundation of our state be strong. Intolerance of illegality is not only a requirement for the authorities, it is a measure of the internal culture of each of us. Not turning a blind eye to disorderly behavior on the street, minor violations in everyday life, and indecency in public places, but speaking out against it is a characteristic of a civilized society. Where order is established, the people's lives improve, the economy develops, and the future of generations is bright, - said B. Baituov. Summing up the meeting, the city akim G. Syzdykbekov noted that the President's Address is a clear guideline for a new stage of development of our country. According to him, the tasks of our President are aimed at creating a just society, diversifying the economy, improving the social sphere, and developing science and innovation. – The city of Shymkent will also actively participate in the implementation of these tasks. We will systematically continue to work on developing the city's economy, improving the quality of life of the population, and improving social infrastructure. In particular, providing quality education to young people, introducing new technologies, and supporting innovative projects will be our main priorities, – said the city akim, setting specific tasks and objectives for the city administrations. In particular, the Department of Entrepreneurship and Industrial and Innovative Development was tasked with increasing the volume of investments to at least 850 billion tenge by the end of 2025, increasing industrial output by over 1 trillion tenge by the end of the year, and increasing the share of small and medium-sized businesses in the city's economy to 46.3 percent. The Department of Digitalization was tasked with launching pilot solutions within the framework of the Smart Shymkent roadmap and increasing the number of projects implemented in the direction of digitalization to at least 20. The city akim also instructed the Department of Passenger Transport and Highways to continue work on further developing the city's transport and logistics sector. Among other things, it is necessary to maximize the transit potential of the city, and to build a new runway, taking into account the capabilities of the new airport terminal. He also instructed to complete the reconstruction of the A-2 highway and the extension of D. Kunayev Avenue in a high-quality manner within the established time frame.

"The tasks set by our President are a solid foundation for the development of our country in the new era. To achieve these goals, each of us must work hard and contribute to the well-being of the country," the akim noted.

All the tasks set by the President are aimed at improving the quality of life of our people and strengthening the power of our state. During the meeting, government and public figures, heads of universities, scientists, experts and representatives of various fields expressed their opinions on important issues raised in the Address of the Head of State. Chairman of the Shymkent City Maslikhat Bakhadyr Narymbetov emphasized that one of the key tasks noted by the President is to attract significant investments to the country, as this is the main mechanism for sustainable economic development and improving the well-being of the population. "As the Head of State noted, attracting investment is a direct task not only for central authorities, but also for local executive authorities. The President especially emphasized that akims bear personal responsibility for the investment climate in the regions," said Bakhadyr Narymbetov. Chairman of the Board of Directors of the University named after Zhumabek Tashenev Onalbay Ayashev emphasized that science is the most solid stronghold of the country's development, and artificial intelligence and digital technologies are the driving force of science in the new century. "Artificial intelligence is not just a technological tool. It is a deep synthesis of knowledge and science. In the modern era, neither science nor the economy will be able to move forward without qualified specialists with a quality education and excellent knowledge of the IT sphere.

In addition, funding for science is increasing, and grants allocated for scientific projects are growing significantly. These steps provide young scientists with broad opportunities for new research. "Intolerance of injustice is a mirror of civil conscience, and irreconcilability to lawlessness is a force that lifts the spirit of the people. Only by adhering to these principles can we build a strong state. Intolerance of lawlessness is not only a demand on the authorities, but also an indicator of the inner culture of each of us. Not turning a blind eye to disorder on the street, minor offenses in everyday life and indecent behavior in public places, but speaking out against it is a quality inherent in a civilized society. Where order is established, the life of the people improves, the economy develops and the future of the generation becomes bright," Birzhan Baituov expressed his attitude to the Address of Aitysker. At the end of the meeting, the city akim Gabit Syzdykbekov noted that the President's Address is a guide to action along the path of a new stage of the country's development.

September 8, 2025, Astana - President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev delivered his annual state-of-the-nation address, “Kazakhstan in the Era of Artificial Intelligence: Key Tasks and Their Solutions through Digital Transformation.” The Head of State presented an ambitious program of reform centered on digital transformation, investment modernization, global connectivity, and institutional renewal.At the heart of the address was Kazakhstan’s determination to lead in the era of artificial intelligence. President Tokayev announced the creation of a new Ministry of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development, which will be headed by a Deputy Prime Minister-level specialist. The new body will spearhead Kazakhstan’s transition into what he described as a “fully digital nation within three years.” The President called for rapid adoption of a comprehensive Digital Code covering artificial intelligence, big data, and the platform economy, and directed the Government to ensure total integration of AI across all sectors of the economy.“Artificial intelligence is no longer an abstract concept,” Tokayev said. “It is already influencing the worldview and behavior of people, especially young people. We must be prepared for this reality. Kazakhstan has no alternative but to embrace this transformation.” He also highlighted financial innovations, announcing the establishment of a State Digital Asset Fund to build a strategic crypto reserve and urging the adoption of a new Banking Law by year-end to stimulate fintech and attract new market entrants.Alongside digital transformation, the President focused on investment and economic modernization. He called for a renewal of Kazakhstan’s investment attraction system, noting that excessive bureaucracy had undermined efficiency. “Attracting investment is a priority that requires new approaches,” he stated, stressing that the Prime Minister is directly responsible for overseeing this process. Tokayev also proposed introducing a Regional Investment Attractiveness Index to hold local government accountable for their economic performance, while urging a rethink of the role of the National Fund. “The Fund’s resources should be used wisely to finance promising projects with high market potential,” he said.Transport and logistics featured prominently as Kazakhstan continues to strengthen its role as a vital bridge between Europe and Asia.

He stated that by October a unified Smart Cargo digital customs and logistics platform must be launched, allowing private operators equal automated access to customs and logistics infrastructure.

He welcomed the results of recent high-level summits, including U.S.–Russia dialogue in Alaska and peace efforts between Azerbaijan and Armenia, and highlighted Kazakhstan’s growing partnerships with China, Türkiye, the Central Asia, the European Union, and the United States. Looking ahead, he underscored the need for reform of the United Nations, particularly its Security Council. “The UN still has no alternative,” he said, “but reform is overdue, above all of its key body, the Security Council.” He added he would present Kazakhstan’s views on global reform during the upcoming session of the UN General Assembly in New York.The President also proposed a major institutional reform that will have long-term political implications. He suggested a transition toward a unicameral Parliament, with the issue to be decided by a nationwide referendum in 2027. Tokayev insisted the process must be transparent and consultative: “I am convinced that it is necessary to conduct an open dialogue with the people on such fateful issues. Only then we will move forward on the path of building a Just and Strong Kazakhstan.”The President also outlined broader national priorities. These included granting special status to Alatau City as a new innovation hub, adopting a new Construction Code by the end of the year, creating a unified digital land resources map, and pursuing long-term strategies for food security and water management.
