Opening the event, the judge of the Supreme Court Doszhan Amir noted the importance of the topic under discussion in the further development of the legal system of Kazakhstan.
"The use of the state language in the judicial system is not only a necessity, but also an important step in strengthening the legal foundations of our country.

The regional akim also emphasized that the use of the state language in court proceedings should be given priority by local authorities.
“The state language plays an important role in court proceedings. In this area, a Memorandum of Understanding on mutual cooperation in the development of the state language policy was signed. Relevant measures will be taken within the framework of this document. In general, the issues of keeping records in the state language are under close attention. Compliance with language legislation is monitored and controlled. According to the results of last year, the share of outgoing documents in the state language of state bodies in the region amounted to 97.5%. I am confident that the joint efforts of state bodies and courts will allow us to further strengthen the position of the state language and create all the necessary conditions for its full use in court proceedings,” the akim said.
