The water volume of the Northern Aral Sea has increased to 24 billion cubic meters. This is higher than the planned result. These figures were achieved in three years. Initially, it was planned to bring the water level to 20.5 billion cubic meters. This was announced by the industry ministry, according to 24KZ.Over 20 years of systematic restoration work, the area of the Northern Aral Sea has grown by 36 percent, the volume of water has almost doubled, and mineralization has halved.The ministry holds regular meetings with the population of the Aral Sea region. On the agenda are options for the further restoration of the Northern Aral Sea. As a result, a decision was made to expand the existing Kokaral dam. It is expected that this will increase the volume of water in the Northern Aral Sea to 34 cubic kilometers, with a filling period of up to five years. The technical version of the project is currently under review by an interdepartmental expert commission.At a meeting of the National Kurultai in Kyzylorda, the President once again raised the issue of the Aral Sea. Kassym-Jomart Tokayev stressed that the issues require a systematic and international approach. Moreover, it is not only the fate of the Aral Sea that is at stake. Kazakhstan will have to build agreements with neighboring countries on other strategic water bodies – the Caspian Sea, the Irtysh, and Lake Balkhash.Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, President of the Republic of Kazakhstan:- Most of Kazakhstan's major rivers originate in neighboring countries. The volume of the Syr Darya's flow into the sea varies depending on the water policies of the states located in the upper reaches of the river. Consequently, the solution to many problems is linked to skilful water diplomacy. Agreements on the joint use of water resources have now been concluded with all the countries of Central Asia.An international environmental summit will be held in Astana in April. There, the heads of state participating in the International Fund for Saving the Aral Sea will discuss the problems of the sea.Source: https://24.kz/ru/news/ekologiya/750693-plan-na-operezhenie-v-severnom-arale-uvelichili-obem-vodySource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mfa-geneva/press/news/details/1157912?lang=kk

This is an important step that will increase trust between the state and the people," he said. During the discussion, Meirzhan Zhakyp, a specialist in the exhibition and mass work sector, also spoke and emphasized the educational significance of the Constitution. According to him, the Constitution contributes to increasing the legal culture of citizens and strengthening the political activity of society. "The Constitution is the main document that every citizen should know and be guided by in their daily lives. Discussing the new Constitution with the people, not just as a matter for lawyers, will make it a truly people's document," he said. According to experts, the 2026 constitutional reform will systematize legal mechanisms aimed at preserving and strengthening the independence of Kazakhstan and lay a solid foundation for the long-term development of the state. The updated Constitution will be a strategic guideline serving to ensure the sustainable development of the country, protect national identity and state integrity.

And discussing it is a vivid manifestation of civic consciousness and responsibility for the future of the country.

В Дохе состоялось торжественное открытие Дней культуры Республики Казахстан. Проведение масштабного события стало возможным благодаря договоренностям, достигнутым Главами двух государств в ходе государственного визита Президента Республики Казахстан Касым-Жомарта Токаева в Государство Катар.Казахстанскую делегацию возглавила заместитель Премьер-министра — Министр культуры и информации Аида Балаева. В рамках Дней культуры зампремьера провела двустороннюю встречу с Министром культуры Государства Катар Шейхом Абдулрахманом бен Хамадом бен Джасимом Аль Тани. В ходе переговоров стороны обсудили перспективы расширения двустороннего сотрудничества в сфере культуры и искусства.«Проведение Дней культуры Казахстана в Катаре – большая честь для нас. Наши народы объединяют общие духовные ценности. И Казахстан, и Катар бережно хранят наследие богатой кочевой цивилизации и глубоко чтят традиции. Уверена, что именно эти ценности и впредь будут сближать наши страны и открывать путь к новым совместным проектам», — подчеркнула Аида Балаева.Приветствуя заместителя Премьер-министра Казахстана, Шейх Абдулрахман бен Хамад бен Джасим Аль Тани отметил высокий потенциал развития казахстанско-катарских отношений, выразив уверенность, что культурное взаимодействие послужит прочной основой для дальнейшего расширения сотрудничества между странами. Особое внимание в ходе встречи было уделено взаимодействию в креативном секторе. Аида Балаева подчеркнула динамичное развитие креативных индустрий в Государстве Катар и отметила, что Казахстан также придает этому направлению приоритетное значение. В республике создан Фонд развития креативных индустрий. В этой связи казахстанская сторона выразила готовность к реализации совместных проектов и расширению практического сотрудничества в данной сфере.Вместе с тем были обозначены и другие перспективные направления взаимодействия, включая выпуск совместных книг, перевод произведений авторов двух стран на казахский и арабский языки, обмен опытом по поддержке художников. В качестве практического шага было предложено подписание Межведомственного плана мероприятий, охватывающего все обозначенные направления.По завершении встречи главы делегаций посетили праздничный Гала-концерт мастеров искусств Казахстана. В программе прозвучали произведения классического музыкального наследия казахского народа, народные кюи и песни, современные композиции в симфонической обработке, а также арабские песни.Также главы делегаций посетили культурно-исторический центр Дарб Аль-Саги, где проходят основные события Дней культуры, объединившие тематические концерты, выставки декоративно-прикладного искусства, дизайнеров, представляющих национальные мотивы в современном прочтении. Особое место в программе занимает экспозиция Национального музея Республики Казахстан. Отдельное внимание уделено популяризации традиций и национальных видов спорта, в частности - традиционному искусству стрельбы из лука, соколиной охоте и охоте с тазы.Отметим, четырехдневная программа Дней культуры Казахстана направлена на дальнейшее укрепление казахстанско-катарского культурно-гуманитарного сотрудничества и продвижение национальной культуры Казахстана на международной площадке.

На четвертом заседании Проектного офиса по внедрению Налогового кодекса, прошедшем сегодня под председательством заместителя Премьер-министра – министра национальной экономики Серика Жумангарина, рассмотрены обращения организаций, в которых трудоустроены люди с инвалидностью. Поднятые вопросы касались порядка налогообложения таких работников в связи с изменениями, внесенными в новый Налоговый кодекс.В ходе обсуждения налоговой реформы в Парламенте изменения, направленные на обеспечение равных условий для всех организаций, трудоустраивающих людей с инвалидностью, изменены подходы. В частности, по предложениям депутатов в целях применения налоговой льготы по корпоративному подоходному налогу с 2026 года применяется единая доля фонда оплаты труда работников с инвалидностью 51%. То есть ранее действовавшая норма о доле 35% для специализированных организаций, в которых работают люди с инвалидностью по потере слуха, речи, зрения, исключена. Принятая норма устраняет избирательный подход к налогоплательщикам и расширяет возможности для занятости людей с инвалидностью вне зависимости от организационно-правовой формы работодателя. При этом льготы по индивидуальному подоходному налогу для самих работников с инвалидностью сохранены в полном объеме. Основная цель нормы — стимулировать работодателей к созданию и сохранению рабочих мест.Кроме того, впервые в Налоговый кодекс была введена норма, предусматривающая дифференциацию социальных налоговых вычетов по ИПН в зависимости от группы инвалидности. Если ранее общий порог вычетов для работающих людей с инвалидностью составлял 882 МРП, то в новой редакции эта величина сохранена для лиц с инвалидностью третьей группы. Для работников с инвалидностью первой и второй групп размер вычетов увеличен до 5000 МРП.В то же время в государственные органы начали поступать обращения с практическими вопросами применения данной нормы. В частности, если в течение календарного года у работника ухудшается состояние здоровья и инвалидность третьей группы меняется на первую или вторую либо в ситуациях снижения группы инвалидности, возникает вопрос о порядке расчета ИПН за год. В соответствии с пунктом 2 статьи 404 Налогового кодекса, социальные налоговые вычеты применяются в том календарном году, в котором возникло или имелось ранее основание для их применения. @KZgovernmentSource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1157723?lang=kk
