From President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev's speech on Republic Day: A new milestone in the country's development 24.10.2025
At a solemn meeting dedicated to Republic Day, Head of State Kassym-Jomart Tokayev outlined the directions of the country's socio-economic development and highlighted significant achievements in recent years. According to the President, Kazakhstan is steadfastly implementing a diversification policy to radically modernize the national economy. One of the main pillars of the country's development is the transport and logistics sector. – “Kazakhstan should become the main logistics center, that is, the hub, of Eurasia. Our country has the potential for this, and we have ample opportunities,” said the Head of State. To this end, this year the second line of the Dostyk-Moyinty railway was put into operation. This is the largest railway construction project during the period of independence. In addition, 13 thousand kilometers of highways have been built and repaired. There has also been significant progress in the field of air transport: since the beginning of the year, 36 new international flights have been opened, and concrete steps are being taken to develop the cargo system. The manufacturing sector grew by 7.5 percent, with the share of small and medium-sized businesses approaching 40 percent. The pace of construction has also increased, with 19 million square meters of housing built last year - the highest figure since independence. The agricultural sector is experiencing steady growth. In recent years, the total output has increased 2.5 times. – “This year, our granaries are full of grain, more than 20 million tons of wheat have been harvested,” the President said. Kassym-Jomart Tokayev noted that social policy is also very important for the future of the country. – “Kazakhstan is a social state according to the Constitution. Therefore, we will definitely fulfill this responsible mission. Our social strategy must be effective and fair,” the Head of State said. Over the past five years, funding for education has tripled. Teachers' salaries have doubled, and their status in society has risen significantly. 1,200 new schools have been opened across the country, including modern educational institutions under the national project "Schools of the Future". Science is also receiving special support - over the past five years, funding for science has increased 5 times. There are branches of 33 prestigious foreign universities operating in Kazakhstan. The Head of State also noted that there are tangible results in improving the nation's health. Since 2020, funding for the medical sector has increased threefold, 927 new medical facilities have been put into operation, and the average life expectancy in the country has exceeded 75 years. In his speech, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev expressed confidence in the successful implementation of reforms aimed at preserving the independence and stability of the country, strengthening national unity, and increasing the country's potential. Republic Day is a holiday that celebrates the beginning of our independence and the strength of our state. May our country prosper, the bright future of Kazakhstan lies in unity and hard work! 🇰🇿
President: "Our economy has grown by 16 percent since 2019" 24.10.2025
"Other concrete measures have been taken to create a just Kazakhstan. Our citizens have begun to actively participate in making decisions of state importance." Akims of villages, districts, and cities of regional significance were elected directly. All village akims and 25 percent of district akims were replaced. Thus, the system of government changed significantly. The principle of "Strong President - Influential Parliament - Accountable Government" has been established in our country. Frankly, there has never been such a large-scale change in the system of power in this region. As a country, we are successfully implementing political reform, which has resulted in a fundamental process of modernization in society. We have embarked on the implementation of our reforms at a very difficult and challenging time for all of humanity. The pandemic, the sanctions confrontation of giant countries, the disruption of established trade routes, various conflicts and wars have caused enormous losses to the development of countries around the world. These circumstances have also affected Kazakhstan. However, we took the necessary measures in a timely manner. While maintaining the potential of our economy, we have developed it with renewed vigor. Since 2019, our economy has grown by 16 percent, and this year it is expected to reach about 137 trillion tenge, or $291 billion, and may even exceed that. This shows that Kazakhstan is the largest economy in our region. Per capita GDP increased by 47 percent, reaching $14,400. This is one of the highest figures among the countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States. "The volume of Kazakhstan's gold and foreign exchange reserves has reached $58 billion. In seven years, foreign trade turnover has increased by 83 percent and today amounts to $142 billion."
From President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev's speech at the Republic Day ceremony: "This day can be called a solemn day that paved the way for our people to become an independent country." 24.10.2025
"Happy Republic Day, the most important holiday of our country! On the eve of the national holiday, we are traditionally gathering at the Akorda Palace with the best citizens of our state." This year, our country has reached the anniversary of its independence. 35 years ago, the Declaration of Independence of Kazakhstan was adopted. On this day, our centuries-old tradition of statehood was revived. Soon, our people raised the flag of Independence. Historical justice was established, and the spirit of the nation was exalted. Therefore, this day can be called a solemn day that paved the way for our people to become an independent country. "Independence is our most precious value. To preserve and strengthen it is a sacred duty common to all of us. Sovereignty is a clear manifestation of the unfading heroism of our ancestors in the interests of the nation." The Head of State: "We will learn from the past, follow our own path, and not bow to anyone" "The great thinker Abish Kekilbayev said, 'Only those who seek lessons from the past and hope for the future can move forward.'" We pay tribute to all state and public figures who have left an indelible mark on the history of the nation at every stage, and we will never forget them. At the same time, we look to the future with great hope and confidence, and strive for lofty goals. Over the years, our country has achieved many milestones. We have become recognized throughout the world as a sovereign state. We have strengthened our borders, strengthened our foundations, and ensured our security. We have strengthened our unity, and thanks to peace and stability, we have successfully overcome various challenges. Today, the world is witnessing the growth and prosperity of our country and showing its respect. However, it is clear that there is no such thing as a perfect, flawless work. We learn from the past, follow our own path, and do not look down on anyone. In recent years, very important steps have been taken to improve the well-being of the population. Large-scale reforms were launched in 2019. Kazakhstan is on the path to becoming a new type of country. "Our Constitution was amended through a nationwide referendum. The powers of Parliament have expanded, and the responsibility of the Government has increased. The Constitutional Court has been established. The institution of the Ombudsman has acquired constitutional status. Since July of this year, the Cassation Court system has been operational, which has created conditions for strengthening justice in our society."
