2025 is a year of special significance for our country in the preservation, development and support of national cultural heritage. This is an important milestone for all our compatriots, as we celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Assembly of the People of Kazakhstan. This unique public institution plays an important role in strengthening interethnic harmony and uniting different ethnic groups into a single community of the people of Kazakhstan.The Assembly of the People of Kazakhstan has become the main organization in the development of the principle "The people of Kazakhstan are one nation". One of the important regions in this regard is East Kazakhstan. Our region is a vivid example of the prosperity of multi-ethnic culture in conditions of peace and harmony. In 1992, the first House of Friendship in the country was opened in the East region. Since then, East Kazakhstan has been a leading region in the creation of ethnocultural associations and Houses of Friendship.Today, cultural, scientific and other projects of great social importance are being implemented in the House of Friendship. Among them are the first ethno-village, the “Friendship Caravan” project, the Language School, and the Museum of the Assembly of the People of Kazakhstan. These initiatives contribute not only to the promotion of the native culture of different ethnic groups, but also to the formation of an effective platform for interethnic interaction.The House of Friendship of East Kazakhstan plays a special role in strengthening the stability and unity of the people of the region. For more than thirty years, this institution has become a unique center that allows representatives of different ethnic groups to unite for a common goal and work for the good of the country. In recent years, the House of Friendship has become an important platform for young people, local communities, and non-governmental organizations, creating favorable conditions for public meetings, exchanges of views, and the implementation of social and cultural projects.The successful work of public structures in the Assembly is a clear proof of our words. Today, 115 Elders' Councils, 114 Mothers' Councils, the Mediation Center, and the “Assembly Youth” organization are actively operating in the region. These structures are expanding interaction at the local level and contributing to strengthening social stability and harmony.Supporting the good initiatives of youth is one of the priorities of the Houses of Friendship. In 2022, the Youth Coworking Center was opened at the East Kazakhstan Regional House of Friendship. This center has become a platform for civil activists, non-governmental organizations and youth associations to implement creative and social projects.In addition, the Youth Theater of the Assembly of the People of Kazakhstan is operating. It features performances by adolescents from large families and children from orphanages. The “Hospitable Family” project, which has been implemented since 2023, is aimed at adapting children to the Kazakh language environment. This initiative not only provides children with the opportunity to use the Kazakh language in everyday life, but also introduces them to national culture more deeply, and also strengthens interethnic relations.Special attention is paid to the preservation and development of the Kazakh language. Last year, 25 Kazakh language clubs called “Come, Let's Talk” were opened on the basis of 11 language schools in the region. Their goal is to improve the ability to speak fluently in Kazakh. In addition, 74 Kazakh language training centers operate in villages, and in the future it is planned to increase their number to 100.In addition, the “Small School Assembly” project is being implemented in the region. This initiative covers 64 schools in the region and contributes to establishing interethnic dialogue among students. The “School Mediation Service”, launched in 2019, currently operates in 174 schools, helping to peacefully resolve disputes between teenagers and strengthen social unity.In the framework of the 30th anniversary of the Assembly of the People of Kazakhstan, one of the main tasks is to upgrade the material and technical base of Friendship Houses and support ethnocultural associations. Additional funding allocated for raising salaries, holding various events, and improving infrastructure will allow the activities of the Friendship Houses to reach a new level.The role of the Friendship Houses in maintaining stability in the country and forming different ethnic groups as a single nation is unique. Today, it is especially important to form a public identity, promote the ideology of patriotism and respect for ethnic diversity.For 30 years, the Assembly of the People of Kazakhstan has led our country to great achievements, laid the foundation for strengthening interethnic harmony and increasing our well-being. The projects and initiatives implemented on the basis of the Friendship Houses are helping each ethnic group find its place and creating conditions for the development of Kazakhstan as a multicultural, single nation.Nurymbet SAKTAGANOV,Akim of East Kazakhstan RegionSource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/akimvko/press/news/details/948839

  The first universal rescue unit was inaugurated in the Karaganda region. The ceremony was attended by the Minister of Emergency Situations of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Major General Chingiz Arinov, the regional governor Yermaganbet Bolekpayev, veterans of civil defense agencies and representatives of the industrial sector.  The new unit was created on the basis of a modern three-story fire station and will become an important element of the emergency response system. Its main feature is that rescuers will be engaged not only in extinguishing fires, but also in carrying out emergency rescue operations, as well as monitoring industrial safety at strategically important facilities.  When choosing a place for the construction of the depot, all issues were considered. The facility is located in such a way that it will include, in addition to residential areas and social facilities, large industrial enterprises. Particular attention was paid to its proximity to the "Steel Department" of Qarmet JSC, one of the leading metallurgical complexes in the region. Since there is a high risk of technogenic accidents, quick action of rescuers is required.  All conditions have been created for the employees to work: a modern gym of the departmental sports club "Batyr team", a psychological assistance room, a shower, a canteen, administrative offices and a spacious hangar with equipment. The department will include employees of the Temirtau Emergency Management Department, the Industrial Safety and Emergency Rescue Services Department. It is also planned to create a branch of the Center for Disaster Medicine of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Republic of Kazakhstan on the basis of the universal department.  During the ceremony, Minister Chingiz Arinov noted the importance of social support for rescuers and handed over the keys to the service apartments.  The head of the department expressed gratitude to local executive bodies for their support in implementing the project.“The opening of the universal rescue department is a strategic step towards strengthening the safety of Temirtau and its industrial facilities. "Thanks to the professionalism of our employees and modern equipment, we can effectively respond to any threat," the minister noted.  As part of the opening, the unit was provided with specialized equipment. This will significantly increase its mobility and technical equipment.  The creation of a universal rescue unit will not only reduce the response time to emergency situations, but also reduce potential threats and losses.  The Ministry of Emergency Situations of Kazakhstan continues systematic work to strengthen civil protection services, gradually increasing the level of security in the country.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/emer/press/news/details/948713
