Thanks to the measures taken, the volume of mutual trade increased by 7.4% last year and amounted to 1.2 billion US dollars. The parties agreed to take coordinated measures to achieve the goal set by the heads of state to bring trade turnover to 2 billion dollars.The need to intensify mutually beneficial cooperation in the agricultural sector was noted, the share of which makes up more than 40% of the total trade turnover of the two countries. Kazakhstan is ready to mutually beneficially increase exports of traditional products - wheat, flour and confectionery. It was also noted that the creation of joint ventures for the processing of fruit and vegetable products for further export to third countries is also a promising direction."Tajikistan is a strategic partner in Central Asia for our country and a truly reliable ally. The Treaty on Allied Relations, signed at a high level last year, is undoubtedly a historic step,” said M. Nutrleu.In turn, the Tajik minister noted that such a high level of mutual relations between the countries was achieved thanks to the trusting and friendly dialogue between the heads of state. “We highly value relations with Kazakhstan and attach great importance to the trade and economic track, which needs to be filled with practical content,” said S. Mukhriddin.Prospects for interaction in the areas of space and IT technologies, artificial intelligence and digitalization were also considered.

Today, the regulatory framework for construction quality in Kazakhstan is the Construction Norms and Rules (KNR) and GOST. Previously, prices and commercial offers for construction projects for material resources and engineering equipment were partially set, and their prices did not always correspond to the market. This has repeatedly led to an increase in the cost of construction. In order to avoid this problem, as well as to save budget funds and minimize the use of price lists financed by state investments, quasi-public sector entities and public-private partnership (concession), when making design decisions (when forming the characteristics of equipment, products and materials) for the construction of facilities envisaged, it is necessary to use the nomenclature of material resources and engineering equipment "List of building structures, products and building materials" in accordance with the Architectural, Urban Planning and Construction Catalog (AGSK-3). For example, in July 2022, the normative technical document of the Republic of Kazakhstan No. 1.02.03-2022 "Procedure for the development, coordination and approval of design and estimate documentation for construction" came into force, which provides for the inclusion of price lists in the GSC, which provides for the prevention of increasing the estimated prices of construction materials through price lists. The norm for the exclusion of use is indicated. It should be noted that AGSK-3 recommends adding a reference book, providing the necessary material resources, equipment, furniture and accessories that are not in the estimate-normative base, and relevant price and technical information (catalogs with detailed technical specifications, certificates of conformity, certificates of origin of goods (ST KZ), test reports).It is important to know that the estimated cost of resources is determined by a set of estimated prices. If the collections do not contain an estimated cost of the required item, then its cost should be determined at the lowest price, based on the estimated prices of such resources in accordance with the approved decisions of the Customer, that is, using information on the prices of resources, taking into account the technical parameters and characteristics adopted in the project. If the price of individual resources and equipment according to price lists or commercial offers is lower than in the reference, the Customer has the right to make a decision to revise the prices of materials included in the reference, recalculating the estimated cost of construction in the process of conducting a comprehensive external examination in order to effectively use financial resources. Recalculation of the estimated cost is carried out by the design organization that developed the project on the instructions of the Customer. The requirements of paragraph 5.13 of the RK Construction Code are established only for material resources and engineering equipment. Today, the use of price lists and commercial offers is applicable only to technological equipment. It is worth noting that the use of AGSK-3 when developing estimate documentation is one of the stages of introducing an automated method of checking estimate documentation. As part of the digitalization of the construction industry, work is underway to combine all local estimates into a single digital estimate with automatic verification during project appraisal. The implementation of this initiative is planned for 2025.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mps/press/news/details/936150

Ramil Kamalov, Chairman of the Fire Service Committee of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, visited the fire departments of the city of Kokshetau during a working trip to the Akmola region.

The Ministry of Emergency Situations of Kazakhstan is conducting fire prevention work on an ongoing basis. This work is carried out throughout the year, and during the heating season, the vector of this work is directed to the housing sector. More than 100 thousand houses of socially vulnerable groups of the population, which are inspected for fire safety before the start of the heating season and are re-examined during regular yard inspections, are under special control. The identified non-compliance with fire safety requirements is necessarily communicated to the population. The main violations identified during the inspection are violations of the rules for the installation and operation of furnace equipment and electrical networks and devices: cracks in furnaces and chimneys, lack of a metal layer in front of the furnace, lack of fire barriers from combustible structures, overloading of electrical networks, damage to the insulation of electrical wires, etc. Eliminating these violations often does not require large expenditures. In cooperation with local executive bodies and volunteers, more than 32 thousand odorous gas, natural gas and smoke detectors have been installed in the homes of socially vulnerable groups of the population (since June 2024). Despite the measures taken everywhere, 760 fires were registered in the country in January, 580 of which were due to violations of requirements during the installation and operation of stoves and electrical systems. The Ministry of Emergency Situations reminds that everyone can make their home safer! To do this, you need to follow simple safety rules:- use only working stoves and electrical appliances;- prevent stoves from overheating and overloading electrical networks;- clean the chimney from soot in a timely manner;- regularly check the stove and electrical appliances for malfunctions;- do not let children light the stove;- keep matches and lighters out of the reach of children.

The annual winter census was attended by representatives of the Zhetysu Regional Forestry and Wildlife Territorial Inspectorate, the Okhotzooprom State Enterprise, the Institute of Zoology, and the Association for the Conservation of Biodiversity in Kazakhstan. The work was carried out on a clear, windless day by seven teams of twenty enumerators.As a result of two days of work, it was determined that about 5.5 thousand gazelles and about 190 argali live in the territory of the national park. And the number of kulans in Altyn-Emel amounted to 3.6 heads. It should be noted that this is the largest kulan population in Kazakhstan. The steady growth of the number of ungulates allows the animals to be reintroduced to other historical habitats.For example, last year, 87 animals were released to the "Altyn Dala", "Ile-Balkhash" reserves and the "Sozak" forest reserve.Let us recall that the main goal of the event is to inventory the population of argali, kulan and gazelle, which are included in the Red Book of our country.Source: Official website of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Kazakhstan A wild animal census was held in the Altyn-Emel National ParkSource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/zhetysu-oblysy/press/news/details/936184

“It is necessary to consistently increase the legal literacy of the population and instill human values ​​in the consciousness of society. Every citizen must be legally accountable for his words and actions,” - President of the Republic of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.As part of the implementation of the instructions of the Head of State, the Ministry of Justice is constantly carrying out explanatory work to increase the legal literacy of the population.For example, in 2024, the campaigns “People's Lawyer”, “Justice Advises”, “Open Day”, “Days of Free Legal Aid” were launched. Last year, 1,310 consultative and explanatory events were held in all regions of the republic, covering a total of more than 100,000 people.In order to increase the legal literacy of residents of rural settlements, about 2,000 “Law Offices” were opened, which operate in the buildings of district and rural clubs, recreation centers, etc. on the basis of “Egov” corners. The offices are fully equipped with access to the "Adilet" ADL, "Zan" DB for familiarization with current regulatory legal acts, as well as access to information systems (e-otinish, "Open NKA" portal, etc.)."Each digital reform is a step towards more accessible justice, especially for people in remote regions where access to legal aid is limited.", - President of the Republic of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.A unified information system for legal aid "E-ZanKomegi" has been launched through the website Эup.kz., designed to provide and receive legal services online, and the "Zan Komegi" mobile application is also available, through which citizens can get answers to legal questions of interest to them via video call. More than 472 thousand citizens received qualified legal assistance through more than 2,000 lawyers and legal advisors in the “Zan Komegi” system.In addition, the unified notarial information system “E-notariat” operates, which allows issuing all types of powers of attorney and marital agreements, except for powers of attorney related to property management, online via video call. This service was used by 176 thousand citizens.In addition, in order to prevent illegal actions, biometric identification of clients is used, a QR-signature service is used when signing applications, and the results of the service are available 24/7 in the EgovMobile “Digital Documents” service. Thus, through this service, citizens of Kazakhstan were able to legally formalize about 168 thousand powers of attorney and 67.5 thousand marital agreements without visiting a notary.Another important achievement is the introduction of the “Board of Justice Robot”. For example, in the event of untimely payment of administrative fines up to 20 MCI, the authorized body transfers the information to the Robot bailiff, which initiates the proceedings without the participation of a private bailiff. After the case is initiated, citizens will receive an SMS message and a push notification from 1414 on EGov Mobile with detailed information about the case, thereby exempting citizens from paying an additional 25% of the fine and visiting the bailiff, since all actions are carried out online.Since the launch of the digital bailiff, more than 109 thousand enforcement cases have been initiated for the amount of 2.2 billion tenge. The amount saved in favor of citizens amounted to 550 million tenge.In 2025, it is planned to improve the work of justice bodies in order to make people's lives easier and more convenient in the digital era, as well as save time and money. Key changes:In 2025, it is planned to train more than 300 thousand citizens in legal literacy;JI - "Aiteke" assistant - a chat bot designed to provide simple legal advice and help collect documents.The competence of the robot bailiff will be expanded, and the limit on the amount of debt it can handle will increase from 20 to 40 AEC, which will allow citizens to save up to 12.2 billion tenge per year.These tools are distinguished by their simplicity, speed and accessibility, allowing them to be used at any time of the day.The measures taken will increase the legal literacy of citizens and help them better understand their rights and obligations. As a result of work on simplifying the provision of services, Kazakhstanis will save time and money, increase the accessibility and convenience of receiving these services, and eliminate administrative barriers, making the process more transparent and efficient.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/akimvko/press/news/details/936202

The meeting of the regional administration chaired by the regional governor Askhat Shakharov considered the issues of rational use of irrigated lands and the return of unused agricultural lands.As Nurbol Yerzhanov, head of the Aktobe regional land relations department, said, this year it is planned to return 160 thousand hectares of unused agricultural lands to state ownership. Last year, 219,063 thousand hectares of land were returned. At the expense of this, it is planned to expand the volume of pasture lands in the region. Currently, due to the increase in livestock, the shortage of pasture lands in populated areas is 97.0 thousand hectares.In addition, work has been undertaken to return lands located within a 100-meter border strip to state ownership. Negotiations are underway with economic entities to voluntarily transfer plots in Aiteke Bi, Kobda, Khromtau and a number of other districts.It should be noted that land plots will be provided through a competition. For example, in 2024, 376 plots with a total area of ​​​​467.7 thousand hectares were allocated through public procurement, including plots for agricultural and commercial purposes. The budget received 161.1 million tenge.In addition, 3 million 903.1 hectares of land are being restored in the region within the framework of 125 restoration projects. In accordance with the Roadmap for Improving Soil Fertility, this year it is planned to conduct geobotanical studies on 7 thousand hectares in Martok and Kobda districts.Askhat Shakharov noted that akims of districts and the regional center are responsible for the rational use of irrigated lands.“The land issue is very important and responsible. Entrepreneurs and agricultural producers must clearly understand that the process of acquiring land plots is regulated by a specific procedure. We cannot give land without a specific purpose, for this there are competitions and auctions. "District akims should conduct explanatory work on this issue in local areas, that is, residents should be informed about where and what competitions are held, as well as how land plots are allocated. For us, it is important, first of all, to focus on the efficient use of land for growing vegetables, fodder and providing pasture for livestock. In addition, it is necessary to continue work on restoring the land and returning it to the state reserve. There is land, but our task is to use it for its intended purpose, observing all the established norms and procedures," the akim noted during the meeting.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/aktobe/press/news/details/936098
