At a meeting of the EEC Council held online, the Kazakh side, led by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Economy Serik Zhumangarin, proposed extending the validity period of navigation seals produced in third countries and used to track the shipment of goods.This decision is necessary because, in accordance with the current EEC Council decision, operators in EAEU member states must use exclusively navigation seals produced within the Union, effective September 7, 2026.In Kazakhstan, the national cargo tracking operator is the Institute of Space Engineering and Technology of the Ministry of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development. In addition to its own devices, the operator uses approximately 10,000 leased navigation seals produced in third countries for a two-year lease. Early replacement of these seals will entail additional costs. However, the current production capacity of EAEU countries is not yet sufficient to fully meet Kazakhstan's demand for navigation seals.At the same time, enterprises have already been identified in Kazakhstan that will establish local production. Launching production will take time.Following the discussion, the EEC Council supported the Kazakh proposal and extended the effective date of the Eurasian Commission's decision until January 1, 2028.Furthermore, the EEC Council approved amendments to the Regulation on the uniform procedure for conducting joint inspections of facilities and sampling products subject to veterinary control. According to the amendments, authorized bodies are authorized to initiate the removal from the register of third-country enterprises that have not supplied regulated products to the territory of EAEU member states for more than five years.Amendments to the EAEU technical regulation "On the safety of perfumery and cosmetic products" were also approved. These amendments provide for a one-year extension of the mandatory requirement for double toxicological testing of products. This decision was made given the limited number of accredited laboratories capable of conducting such testing.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/1256385?lang=ru

The DOMBYRA UNITY international online challenge, initiated by the Department of Culture, Archives and Documentation of the Karaganda region in honor of the National Dombra Day, brought together fans of Kazakh musical art from around the world.Initially, the project was conceived as an international creative event with the participation of artists from the Karaganda region and foreign performers who are passionate about playing the dombra. But the interest in the challenge exceeded the expectations of the organizers. Participants from the Netherlands, the USA, Belgium, Sweden, Uzbekistan and other countries have already joined the initiative, and applications continue to arrive from almost all continents.— We expected an international response, but we did not expect that the geography of the project would be so wide. It is especially gratifying that the challenge was supported by residents of such distant countries as the Netherlands, the USA, Belgium and Sweden. Today we continue to receive new video works from different parts of the world. This indicates that the project is resonating with people. The challenge will last until July 5," said Aizhan Shakenova, Deputy Head of the Department of Culture, Archives and Documentation. As part of the challenge, participants perform Kazakh folk kuis on dombra and record video greetings dedicated to the National Day of Dombra. All materials are published on social networks under the single hashtags #DombyraUnity2026 and #DombyraKuni2026, creating a single international cultural space.The project aims to popularize the national musical heritage of Kazakhstan, introduce the world audience to the art of kuya and unite people from different countries around their love of dombra and Kazakh culture.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/karaganda/press/news/details/1252800?lang=ru
