Now they will not be provided to everyone, but taking into account priority industries and projects that really contribute to the development of the economy and job creation. This practice will make it possible to use state resources more effectively and stimulate the development of the agricultural sector, industry and processing," said Zhanybek Nurzhanov, Deputy Chairman of the State Revenue Committee of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan.The next seminar will be held on September 10 in Oral.

Unity and friendship are values that lift the country's spirits. 29.08.2025
If we look back at the pages of history, we see that the development and prosperity of any state is directly related to peace among its people. Because without prosperity, unity, and mutual understanding, no success can be sustained. Stability within the country is the main pillar of economic strength, social development, and international prestige. Unfortunately, there are many countries in the world that are stagnant due to internal discord and conflict. While interethnic conflicts are escalating in one place, religious conflicts are bringing the country to a standstill in another. In such a situation, Kazakhstan's decision to make friendship and unity the basis of state policy is a wise step that stems from the historical experience of our people. The hospitality and generosity of the Kazakh people, the tradition of supporting representatives of other nationalities, are the foundation of today's social harmony. During the years of deportation in the 20th century, thousands of people who fell into the clutches of fate found refuge in the Kazakh land and started a new life. This is a historical lesson that deeply instills the value of peace. Friendship is a noble quality that unites people in a common cause, strengthens solidarity and trust. Its significance is especially significant for a multi-ethnic society. Representatives of more than 130 ethnic groups live in harmony in Kazakhstan and contribute to the development of the country. This is clear evidence that friendship unites society, unites different cultures, and enriches the country spiritually. The successes of independent Kazakhstan - the emergence of a new capital, increased international prestige, and economic achievements - were all achieved thanks to the unity of the country. Because where there is division, the people's energy is spent on conflict, while in an environment of unity, the energy of each citizen is directed towards the prosperity of the country. The Assembly of the People of Kazakhstan is a unique institution for maintaining this peace and harmony. It not only supports the culture of ethnic groups, but also provides everyone with an equal opportunity to contribute to the development of the state. The fact that countries around the world are interested in Kazakhstan's experience and evaluate it as an example of interethnic peace is evidence of this. The political system may change, the economic situation may also fluctuate. But friendship and unity are eternal values that will stand the test of time. They will not disappear, but will become more and more important with each passing year. Therefore, preserving unity is protecting our future, promoting friendship is strengthening our peaceful life. This is our common duty. #WeTogether #PeaceAndHarmony #PeaceForAll #TogetherForPeace #APK30years #APK30years #APK #ANK
Unity and friendship are the main foundations of the country's development 29.08.2025
If we look at the history of the development of society, we can see that unity and friendship have played a special role in the prosperity of any state. Because without peace and harmony among the people, no success can be sustained. The internal stability of a country is the main prerequisite for economic strength, social development, and international prestige. How many countries in the world are weakened and underdeveloped due to internal discord and conflict? While interethnic conflict is escalating in one country, religious divisions are bringing the country to a standstill in another. In such a situation, Kazakhstan's adherence to peace as a key value is the right decision, based on our historical experience. The hospitality and generosity of the Kazakh people, their tradition of supporting other nations, have become the foundation of today's social harmony. During the deportations of the 20th century, hundreds of thousands of people found refuge on Kazakh soil and were able to resume their lives. This history is a lesson in how important it is for us to maintain peace. Friendship is a great value that unites people for a common goal and strengthens the unity of society. Friendship is especially important for multinational countries. The peaceful coexistence of representatives of different ethnic groups under one roof enriches the country spiritually. Representatives of more than 130 ethnic groups live in Kazakhstan. Each of them preserves its own culture and contributes to the development of the country. This is a clear example of how friendship unites society and supports each other. Economic success and social progress can only be achieved where there is unity. If there is division in society, the energy of the people is spent on conflict, not development. Where there is unity, the strength of each citizen is directed towards a common goal. All the achievements of independent Kazakhstan - the emergence of a new capital, the growth of its international prestige, and economic success - were all made possible thanks to the unity of the people. The Assembly of the People of Kazakhstan is an institutional model of social harmony. This organization not only unites representatives of different ethnic groups, but also allows them to preserve their culture and contribute equally to the development of the state. Countries around the world are showing interest in Kazakhstan's experience and considering it as a unique model for managing interethnic relations. This also shows how effective our policy of peace and friendship is. Politics may change, and the economy may fluctuate. But friendship and peace are eternal values. They do not lose their value over time, but rather increase. The future of Kazakhstan depends on preserving these values. To glorify unity is to protect the future, to glorify friendship is to strengthen peaceful life. This is the duty of every citizen. #WeTogether #PeaceAndHarmony #PeaceForAll #TogetherForPeace #APK30years #ANK30years #APK30years #АНК #ANK
