Kassym-Jomart Tokayev:

"The current younger generation perceives the word patriotism in different ways. The vast majority of young people do not support exaggeration, exaggeration. For them, the main indicator of patriotism is creativity and innovation.
Young people understand that "loving a country means making discoveries, discovering new things that benefit the people." They want to see Kazakhstan as a developed, prosperous state. It is mastering modern technologies and striving to include our people among the advanced nations.
The patriotism of the younger generation is a sincere desire for the future. This is a clear manifestation of the changes taking place in the consciousness of society. I fully support this. I believe in the efforts of young people, in their talents and knowledge.
