New York, 3 September 2025 – A high-level plenary meeting marking the fifteenth anniversary of the International Day against Nuclear Tests was held at United Nations Headquarters. This year’s observance assumed particular significance as it coincided with the 80th anniversary of the first nuclear explosion and the 80th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations. From the General Assembly podium, Member States expressed profound appreciation to Kazakhstan for its initiative in establishing and annually convening this forum, as well as for its steadfast contribution to strengthening the global disarmament and non-proliferation regime.President of the General Assembly Philemon Yang recalled that between 1945 and 1996 more than two thousand nuclear tests were conducted worldwide, inflicting severe harm on human health and causing lasting environmental contamination. He underscored that Kazakhstan’s historic decision of 29 August 1991 to close the Semipalatinsk nuclear test site represented a decisive turning point in global efforts to end the nuclear testing race.The United Nations High Representative for Disarmament Affairs, Izumi Nakamitsu, speaking on behalf of the Secretary-General, underlined that the International Day against Nuclear Tests, established at Kazakhstan’s initiative, is not only a day of remembrance but also an effective international platform for advancing the goal of a world free of nuclear testing. She noted that Kazakhstan, by its own example – including its leadership of key sessions of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons – has convincingly demonstrated that prohibiting nuclear tests is not simply a technical matter, but a moral and strategic imperative.The Executive Secretary of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization, Robert Floyd, stressed that the Treaty remains the only universal, legally binding instrument designed to end nuclear testing. He noted that it has succeeded in halting the practice of nuclear explosions and in establishing a unique global verification system comprising more than 300 certified facilities, five of which are located in Kazakhstan. On 29 August, he joined Kazakhstan’s Deputy Prime Minister - Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan,  Murat Nurtleu, in issuing a joint statement that reaffirmed their determination to secure the Treaty’s entry into force and to further strengthen its verification regime. They also called on States to maintain moratoria on nuclear testing and to accelerate the ratification process.Kazakhstan’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Kairat Umarov, conveyed the words of President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, who stressed that the tragedy of the Semipalatinsk nuclear test site must never be repeated. He underlined: “For the sake of future generations, we must strengthen peace, promote international cooperation, and take efforts towards a complete ban of nuclear tests”. Ambassador Umarov also recalled the Semipalatinsk Treaty establishing a nuclear-weapon-free zone in Central Asia as a practical embodiment of this policy, as well as the joint initiative of Kazakhstan and Kiribati to establish an International trust fund for victim assistance and environmental remediation.At the traditional reception hosted by Kazakhstan’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations on the occasion of the International Day against Nuclear Tests, participants included senior UN Secretariat officials, Permanent Representatives of Member States, and representatives of the expert community and civil society. In their statements, distinguished guests Izumi Nakamitsu and Robert Floyd emphasized that this Day has become a respected international platform for consolidating global efforts in pursuit of a world free from nuclear testing and the threat of its resumption.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mfa-kazakhstanun/press/news/details/1062338?lang=kk

In his Address “A Fair Kazakhstan: Law and Order, Economic Growth, Public Optimism,” Head of State Kassym-Jomart Tokayev instructed the Government and akims to pay special attention to the development of digitalization and artificial intelligence. The President noted the need to build on the achievements made in this area and fully implement artificial intelligence technology into the “Electronic Government” platform. In this regard, the Government is intensifying work on introducing digital solutions and AI technologies into all sectors, considering them as the main mechanism for accelerating the country's economic growth. Digital transformation of industries in our country is yielding significant results. As part of the large-scale digital transformation underway since 2021, a set of digital solutions has been introduced in the ministries of the Republic of Kazakhstan aimed at increasing the efficiency of public administration, reducing administrative and corruption barriers, and improving the quality of services provided to citizens and businesses. This allowed to withdraw more than 28 billion tenge from the shadow economy and save more than 13 billion tenge in budget funds. The total effectiveness of the implemented solutions amounted to 51.3 billion tenge. The term for providing public services was reduced by 20 times. Corruption and administrative barriers were reduced. A platform model of public administration is being introduced, based on the principles of client-oriented transparency, efficiency, and maximum automation. Proactive service delivery mechanisms have been launched that minimize citizen participation in the service delivery process. A Digital Government Support Center has been established, and a business process reengineering practice has been introduced in conjunction with the Digital Government Office. This will allow for the analysis, redesign, and scaling of effective solutions. "Kazakhstan ranks 24th out of 193 countries in the world in terms of digitalization. And it is among the top ten countries in the online services index. Now 92% of public services can be obtained online," said Zhaslan Madiev, Minister of Digital Development, Innovation and Aerospace Industry. Digital services for citizens: convenient, fast and transparent As part of the implementation of the tasks set out in the Address of the Head of State, digital services in the G2C (government to citizens) format are being actively introduced in our country. This is accelerating the provision of government services, making them more open and accessible. The complete digitalization of electronic medical certificates and temporary disability certificates allowed reducing the shadow economy by 7.5 billion tenge and ensuring the transparency of the system. 450 million tenge were saved from budget funds. The telemedicine service, which includes 1.5 million types of services, allowed for remote consultation and diagnostics. This saved the population more than 13 billion tenge. Kindergarten and school enrollment has been converted to a digital format. The relative improvement in the process was 46%. It used to take five days for a student to transfer from one school to another, but now it can be done in one day, which has increased efficiency by 66%. Teacher training is now faster. Automated selection and digital distribution have reduced the time frame from two to three months to two weeks. The savings amounted to 119 million tenge. College admissions have also been simplified: online applications and automatic verification of preferential status have reduced the processing time for documents from five days to thirty minutes. Admission to universities and placement in dormitories is carried out online, a single service allows you to submit documents, register for a clinic, register for military service, and get a place in a dormitory. The introduction of the UNT electronic certificate has saved the budget by 83 million tenge and allowed citizens to save more than 300 million tenge. A Euro-protocol procedure for traffic accidents has been introduced: a mobile service allows for the registration of accidents without the involvement of the police. Insurance payments are paid in 5 days instead of 40, with an economic efficiency of 516 million tenge. Enforcement proceedings have been automated: cases are initiated automatically, notifications are sent via SMS, and the participation of private bailiffs has been eliminated. This provides savings of 2 billion tenge annually. A digital notarized power of attorney can be obtained via video conference, which has significantly increased the number of documents processed and simplified the process for citizens. To increase the targeting of support, the "Social Wallet" project was introduced. The first block - free and discounted meals were introduced in 2,369 schools, and the "Business Wallet" is operating in 3,950 schools to account for hot meals. "We are introducing digital solutions in the social sphere. The "Social Wallet" project allows you to monitor the provision of free meals, eliminate registration, and effectively spend budget funds. Today, this tool is being introduced and expanded in all schools in the country," added Zhaslan Madiev.

The IT industry is growing steadily. The number of IT companies in the country has exceeded 18 thousand, with a growth of 16% over the past three years.

There are already 19 of them in Kazakhstan. In addition, foreign platforms have been opened in Saudi Arabia, the USA, the UK, Dubai and China. Astana Hub, together with international partners, is developing a startup ecosystem. Within the framework of the AI'Preneurs and Silk Way Accelerator (in partnership with Google) programs, Kazakhstani projects are entering global markets. Thanks to cooperation with AlchemistX, Draper University and Silkroad Innovation Hub, more than 40 startups have been accelerated in Silicon Valley. By 2026, Kazakhstan aims to achieve $1 billion in IT services exports. The Tech Orda program envisages training 100,000 IT specialists by 2025. Online and offline programs are being conducted - Tomorrow School, AI'Preneurs, Decentrathon 2.0, as well as specialized courses: AI-People Bootcamp and AI Quest 1.0. Also, for the first time in Central Eurasia, the AI Qyzmet program was launched, which trains civil servants in AI skills. It aims to increase the efficiency of public service by introducing digital tools into work processes. "2024-2025 was a period of important initiatives in the field of AI. The concept until 2029 has been approved, a strategy for the development of AI and digital transformation, as well as a draft law on artificial intelligence are being developed," said Zhaslan Madiev. Work is underway to launch the international Alem.AI artificial intelligence center, which will be a platform for training specialists and scientific research. Recently, the largest language model in the Kazakh language, AlemLLM, became publicly available. It can be used by startups, universities, companies, and international platforms. In July, the first alem.cloud supercomputing cluster in Central Asia was launched. It is available to businesses and researchers to develop their AI solutions.

As part of the implementation of the Presidential Address “Fair Kazakhstan: Law and Order, Economic Growth, Public Optimism” and other instructions of the Head of State, artificial intelligence is being actively developed in Kazakhstan and new educational initiatives are being introduced. According to the MCRIAP RK, the IT industry is demonstrating steady growth. The number of IT companies in the country has exceeded 18 thousand, growth over the past three years has amounted to 16%. An important driver was the development of the international technopark Astana Hub, which unites more than 1,700 participants.
