A round table was held at the Peoples' Friendship University named after Academician A. Kuatbekov on the topic "Constitutional reform is a factor of national harmony and unity."
The event was attended by the university's management and faculty, and the essence of constitutional reforms, their impact on the development of society, and their role in strengthening national unity and social harmony were widely discussed.
Candidate of Sociology Mukhamedkarim Ertayev emphasized the importance of modernizing the legal system in the context of current social transformation.
– As society changes, legal norms must also be updated in line with the needs of the times. Today, political, social and cultural processes are developing rapidly. Digitization mechanisms are being introduced into the science and education system. Therefore, the issue of protecting citizens' rights and personal data in the digital space is becoming increasingly relevant. The definition of human rights as the highest value in the draft new Constitution is the need of the hour, - said M. Ertayev.
Sadyk Tanirbergenuly, Candidate of Law, also spoke at the meeting, noting that the Preamble to the new draft Constitution reflects the historical path of our people, the values of independence, and the ideas of national unity and social harmony. According to him, this is an important step aimed at raising the spirit of the nation and strengthening peace and stability in society.
It was also noted that the new Constitution identifies education, science, and innovation as strategic priorities of state policy. This is a reflection of a systematic approach that links the country's sustainable development with the quality of human capital.
During the roundtable, the participants expressed support for the Constitutional reform, emphasizing its historical significance and evaluating it as an important milestone in the period of renewal of Kazakhstan. The meeting concluded with the need to continue work to widely explain the content of the reforms to the public, increase civic engagement, and strengthen national unity.
