The National Guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan has launched its autumn selection campaign for compulsory service in one of its most prestigious units — the Honor Guard Company. Every year, thousands of young men aspire to join the elite of the law-enforcement troops, but only a select few manage to pass the rigorous competition. One of them is conscript soldier Daniyar Bekzhanov, whose story now inspires future recruits.During the current draft period, more than 7,000 young citizens are expected to be called into service in the National Guard. However, only those who meet the strict requirements of the Honor Guard Company will have the chance to join its ranks. Candidates must be at least 180 centimeters tall, possess excellent posture, show strong discipline, maintain psychological stability, and demonstrate flawless drill training. These were the qualities that once allowed Daniyar to successfully pass the selection and become one of the faces of the National Guard at state ceremonies.Private Bekzhanov’s service is now nearing completion. Throughout his time in the company, he has undergone intensive training in discipline, attention to detail, and psychological resilience. His journey demonstrates that serving in an elite unit fosters personal growth and instills a high level of responsibility in young guardsmen.“It is a great honor to be part of the Honor Guard Company. The service has taught me discipline, focus, and endurance. I have become stronger both physically and mentally,” said Daniyar Bekzhanov.During his service, Private Bekzhanov took part in key events of the National Guard. Among them was the “100 Days Until Victory” campaign dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War. As part of this initiative, Daniyar participated in meetings with veterans, patriotism and courage lessons in military units, as well as festive activities held in public spaces.The Honor Guard Company performs ceremonial and representative functions at the state level, including participation in parades, wreath-laying ceremonies, and events involving the leadership of the National Guard. Training intensity in the unit reaches up to 120 hours per week, with a significant portion devoted to drill performance, synchronized movements, and mastering complex ceremonial elements.This year’s autumn selection is expected to be no less competitive than in previous years. The Honor Guard Company remains a symbol of impeccable bearing, discipline, and unwavering military honor. Press Service of the National GuardMinistry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of KazakhstanSource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kvv/press/news/details/1116795?lang=kk

Today, the city mayor, along with residents of the Aiköl residential complex, participated in the launch ceremony of the water supply system. The project was made possible following a public meeting, during which residents emphasized the need to provide the neighborhood with high-quality drinking water. As part of the project, a 14.7-kilometer water pipeline was installed, providing water supply to 38 residential and community facilities. The project will significantly improve sanitary and hygienic conditions and enhance the living comfort of local residents. Shymkent resident Nazim Kalybekova noted: "The water's back on, thanks everyone. Now we're hoping everything will get better. Maybe we'll start gardening and growing some fruit and berries." The city mayor expressed gratitude to the sponsors for their support and to the contractor for the high-quality and timely completion of the work. The coordinated efforts of the mayor's office, business representatives, and district residents made it possible to achieve this result in such a short time. Shymkent currently has 99.5% of its drinking water supply. Authorities have announced plans to increase this figure to 99.9%. This year, the water supply system has already been launched in the Tekesu and Kyzylzhar-2 microdistricts. Next up is the large Kursay microdistrict, home to over 4,500 homes. Water supply is planned for this month. Rzabek Mendikulov, Head of the Department of Energy and Infrastructure Development of the City of Shymkent, emphasized: "In accordance with our plan, a major infrastructure project will be commissioned in Kursay this December. Once launched, the city's drinking water supply will reach 99.9%. Water has already been provided to Tekesu and Kyzylzhar-2. Water was also provided today to Aikol." The launch of the water supply system in the Aiköl residential complex was the result of open dialogue with the community and prompt resolution of quality-of-life issues. Work on developing the city's public utilities infrastructure will continue, aimed at creating comfortable conditions for Shymkent residents.

Today, the mayor of Shymkent participated in the ceremony of launching the drinking water system together with residents of the "Aikol" residential area. The project is being implemented as a result of a field meeting with residents. During the meeting, residents noted that providing the microdistrict with high-quality drinking water is an urgent issue. As part of the project, a 14.7-kilometer water pipeline network was constructed. As a result, 38 subscribers - residential buildings and social facilities - were provided with full drinking water supply. This, in turn, significantly improved the sanitary and hygienic conditions and increased the quality of life of the local population. Nazym Kalybekova, a resident of Shymkent: "The water has been restored, thank you all. We hope that everything will improve now. Maybe we will even start planting a garden and growing fruits," he said with joy. The city mayor expressed his gratitude to the sponsors who supported the project, as well as to the contractor who performed the work in a high-quality and timely manner. The joint work of the akimat, business representatives, and residents of the district made it possible to achieve results in a short time. Currently, the level of drinking water coverage in Shymkent is 99.5 percent. The akimat plans to increase this figure to 99.9 percent. This year, the water system was launched in the Tekesu and Kyzylzhar-2 microdistricts. Next in line is the large Kursai residential area with more than 4.5 thousand houses. The drinking water system is planned to be connected here this month. Head of the Shymkent City Energy and Infrastructure Development Department Rzabek Mendikulov: "According to our plan, a major infrastructure project will be launched in the Kursai residential area in December of this year. After the project is implemented, the city's drinking water coverage will reach 99.9 percent. Today, water has been supplied to the settlements of Tekesu and Kyzylzhar-2. Today, the Aikol residential area has also been provided with drinking water," he noted. The launch of the water system in the "Aikol" residential area is the result of an open dialogue with the population and the prompt resolution of tasks aimed at improving living conditions. In the future, work on the development of municipal infrastructure will continue, which, in turn, will allow creating comfortable conditions for the city's residents.

The visit of Swiss Vice President Guy Parmelin to Astana on November 28 is set to reinforce a strategic partnership built on neutrality, economic pragmatism and technological cooperation. Talks with President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev are expected to outline new priorities in trade, investment and innovation, Qazinform News Agency reports.Stable partnershipSwitzerland was one of the first European countries to establish diplomatic relations with Kazakhstan in 1992. The partnership has developed steadily and consistently, based on a pragmatic approach and a shared understanding of the role of neutrality in international affairs. Switzerland supported Kazakhstan during its OSCE Chairmanship and accession to the World Trade Organization.Valeriy Sitenko, senior expert at the Institute for Foreign Policy Studies of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kazakhstan, believes the successful development of relations is largely explained by mutual economic interests.“Switzerland remains one of Kazakhstan’s key partners in Europe and an important source of investment,” the expert noted.Trade and strategic cooperationTrade between Kazakhstan and Switzerland continues to show stable dynamics. In 2024, bilateral trade exceeded 1 billion dollars. According to the Ministry of Trade and Integration of Kazakhstan, from January to September 2025 the figure reached $1.075 billion, down 20.6 percent from the same period of the previous year, which totaled $1.354 billion.Despite the decline, the structure of trade reflects technological and resource complementarity. Kazakhstan remains a supplier of energy carriers and raw materials, while Switzerland is a major source of high-tech goods, medical products and complex equipment. With effective diversification and deeper cooperation in processing and pharmaceuticals, both sides may expect recovery as early as 2026.Kazakhstan aims to boost non-raw material exports and broaden the assortment of value-added products, a topic regularly emphasized in bilateral dialogue.Long-term cooperation in education is another driver of closer ties. Switzerland has long served as a benchmark for Kazakhstan in dual education. In 2015 Swiss tourism institutes and branches of the Geneva Business School opened in Kazakhstan. Their popularity is driven by practical training and high teaching standards.The Swiss approach to education, combining practical training with strong academic standards, is increasingly relevant as Kazakhstan modernizes programs in engineering, management, hospitality and services.Investment and new opportunitiesSwitzerland has ranked among the top three largest investors in Kazakhstan for many years, following only the Netherlands and the United States. By the end of 2023 total accumulated investment exceeded $35 billion, making Bern one of Astana’s most reliable financial partners.Stadler Rail operates in Kazakhstan, having signed agreements worth more than €2 billion in 2022 and 2023. The program includes production of 537 modern rail cars and 20-year servicing. Localization in Kazakhstan is expected to reach 35 percent.Cooperation also involves companies such as SGS and Militzer and Muench, along with investment fund INOKS Capital, which is considering agro projects in the Almaty region, including intensive orchards, fruit processing and creation of value chains in the agricultural sector. This aligns with Kazakhstan’s strategy to attract long-term European investment into food production and processing.Experts emphasize that Switzerland is attracted by Kazakhstan’s combination of large resource potential and opportunities for logistics projects along the Europe-Asia corridor.According to Valeriy Sitenko, Swiss interest is traditionally concentrated in energy, critical minerals, financial services and transport.“Swiss companies view Kazakhstan not only as a source of raw materials, but as a promising link in integrated European production chains from mining to high technology,” the expert stressed.Although direct investment from Switzerland fell to approximately $500 million in 2024, down 75 percent from 2023, analysts expect potential for recovery. The decline is attributed largely to cyclical sectoral factors rather than political risks.Technology and digital solutionsPolitical scientist Tair Nigmanov notes that Switzerland remains a key partner in technology, finance and industrial modernization. The upcoming visit of the Swiss Vice President may provide fresh momentum to cooperation in green technologies, digitalization, transport and manufacturing.Tair Nigmanov also highlights challenges:   “If we compare statistics for 2023 and 2024, investment dropped 75 percent. This is a serious signal. Kazakhstan, which depends on investment inflows, is objectively interested in reversing this trend,” he said.One promising area is smart city technology, where Swiss companies have significant expertise. Earlier efforts were made to introduce digital solutions in Almaty’s urban systems.Kazakhstan is also interested in cooperation with Swiss educational and scientific centers, especially in dual training. The Swiss model is considered one of the most effective in Europe and highly relevant for Kazakhstan amid shortages of engineering specialists.In the global competition for investment, Kazakhstan aims not only to preserve its attractiveness, but also to offer more technologically advanced projects. In this context, Switzerland remains a strategic partner: financially stable, technologically advanced and geopolitically neutral.Shared foreign policy approachesKazakhstan and Switzerland share similar foreign policy principles: neutrality and diplomatic mediation as key instruments of international positioning. Switzerland traditionally acts as a global negotiation platform from nuclear disarmament to conflict resolution. Kazakhstan has recently strengthened its role as mediator hosting the Astana Process on Syria, launching nuclear security dialogue formats and contributing to the UN agenda.This approach, according to Valeriy Sitenko, unites the two countries:“Both Kazakhstan and Switzerland advocate for mutually beneficial cooperation across all areas. Our political views coincide: both sides support diplomatic settlement and dialogue,” the expert emphasized.Such synergy makes the upcoming talks especially meaningful. Amid global geopolitical shifts, both countries seek to strengthen regional and international positions while maintaining careful balance in multi-vector policy.Tair Nigmanov notes that relations with Switzerland remain stable even as Kazakhstan adjusts its foreign policy priorities.“Switzerland remains a key component of Kazakhstan’s European direction despite the updated foreign policy concept. The level of bilateral relations remains consistently high,” he stressed.Kazakhstan and Switzerland actively cooperate within the United Nations, OSCE, Council of Europe and the UN Office in Geneva where Kassym-Jomart Tokayev previously held a senior position. Switzerland chairs the OSCE in 2025, making dialogue even more relevant.“The experience of Swiss diplomacy is of great interest to Kazakhstan particularly in the context of positioning itself as a middle power and engaging more actively in the global agenda,” Valeriy Sitenko observed.He added that this expertise is especially important within the framework of the UN SDG Regional Center opened in Almaty.Switzerland remains one of Kazakhstan’s most stable and technologically advanced partners in Europe. The upcoming meeting between President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev and Swiss Vice President Guy Parmelin may play a crucial role not only in restoring investment flows, but also in strengthening long-term political dialogue and strategic partnership.Earlier, Qazinform News Agency reported that Kazakh Foreign Minister Yermek Kosherbayev will pay an official visit to Switzerland on December 2 at the invitation of the Swiss side.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mfa-geneva/press/news/details/1116689?lang=kk
