Kassym-Jomart Tokayev signed the Decree "On Approval of the Basic Principles, Values and Directions of the Domestic Policy of the Republic of Kazakhstan." At the 4th session of the National Congress, experts and public figures proposed developing a single conceptual document that would regulate all work carried out in the field of domestic policy. The President supported this idea, noting that it should be aimed at systematizing the work of state structures. The Presidential Administration and interested state bodies have prepared the document "Basic Principles, Values, and Directions of Domestic Policy" based on the annual Addresses, speeches of the Head of State, and the National Development Plan of the Republic of Kazakhstan until 2029. Members of the National Congress, experts, and representatives of scientific and public organizations actively participated in the development of the conceptual document. This document is primarily intended for government agencies. Its main goal is to systematize and coordinate work in the field of domestic policy. It includes such domestic policy principles as "Law and Order", "A State That Listens to the Voice of the People", "Diverse Perspectives - a United Nation", "Strong President - Influential Parliament - Accountable Government", "Honest Citizen", and "Clean Kazakhstan". A list of national values raised at the National Congress meetings was also introduced. A system of national symbols was created to reflect national identity. The document identifies priority areas of domestic policy, such as public dialogue, interethnic relations, religion, cultural and humanitarian, family, youth, and information. The adopted conceptual document will serve as the basis for organizing the work of state bodies in the field of domestic policy.

In 2025, the economy of Kazakhstan is showing solid growth — GDP increased by 6.3%. But economic indicators are primarily important in terms of how they affect people's daily lives. In recent years, our country has experienced significant growth. Domestic tourism has increased by 40%, reaching 10.5 million people. The number of Kazakhstanis traveling abroad has tripled. Air and taxi transportation has also increased: the number of taxi passengers has increased from 54.3 million in 2018 to 73.3 million in 2024 - an increase of 35%. The increase in the well-being of citizens is also noticeable in the housing market: in 2020–2024, more than 1.1 million people acquired their own housing. This is an indicator of growing income and freedom. The quality of life of Kazakhstanis is also improving: the eating culture has changed, and meat and fruit consumption has increased. The food basket for socially vulnerable groups has expanded from 20 items to 43. In cities and villages, work has intensified on gas supply, lighting, road repairs, and yard improvements. All of this is the foundation of a new quality of life. Economic growth is not a goal, but a means. The main thing is that this growth is felt in the lives of every family, in the opportunities of every person. The new stage of Kazakhstan is a transition from quantitative growth to qualitative development.
