✔️Some politicians and experts have labeled this a "crisis of civilizations."

– As Kipling said, “The name of the West is West, the name of the East is East. They will never meet in the same channel.” If we look at the recent events in a number of large states, such a statement may seem correct. But the political factor should never be forgotten. In other words, it is worth keeping in mind the concept and experience of the ruling authorities about the state structure. We see that the policies they pursue are not always appropriate and constructive in terms of supporting peaceful dialogue, the integration of cultures, different religions and worldviews. The growing prevalence of ultranationalism and false patriotism is alarming. The change in established concepts before our eyes misleads young people. On the one hand, we are witnessing a clash of legal conservative and liberal ideologies. This leads a number of countries to political instability. In Kazakhstan, close attention is paid to global problems of this kind. This is the main core of our domestic policy. I believe that it is important to pursue a policy of tolerance and mutual respect between representatives of different ethnic groups, religions and nationalities. "Any actions that harm and undermine the principle of "Our unity is in diversity," including those that oppose the free use of the languages of the peoples permanently residing in our country in public service and public places, will be strictly prohibited. They will be given a legal assessment in accordance with the principle of "Law and Order," Kassym-Jomart Tokayev said.

✔️The President noted that in recent years, Kazakhstan has consistently carried out large-scale changes aimed at creating a more stable, open, and fair political system.

– The sphere of human rights protection has been significantly strengthened: the Constitutional Court was established, the institution of the Ombudsman was strengthened, special laws and decrees were issued. The 2022 constitutional reform, supported by the majority of our citizens during the nationwide referendum, fundamentally modernized our political system. We were guided by the principle of “Strong President - Influential Parliament - Accountable Government”. The procedure for electing the President once every seven years was approved, and norms were introduced prohibiting close relatives of the Head of State from holding political office. In addition, in my recent Address to the People of Kazakhstan, I raised the initiative to establish a unicameral Parliament in our country. This proposal stems from the desire to modernize the political system in the interests of the people. Based on the concept of “Law and Order”, special attention is paid in our domestic policy to ensuring the stability of society and the security of citizens, - said the President.
