Astana – President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev emphasized the long-term, strategic impact of the Assembly of the People of Kazakhstan (APK) at its 34th session on April 24, which marked the 30th anniversary of the institution, reported Akorda.Promoting labor and unityTokayev noted that the Assembly’s daily work may not always be visible but plays a critical role in strengthening unity. In 2024 alone, the APK organized over 15,000 events in all regions, covering nearly one million people. He highlighted the APK’s leadership during last year’s spring floods, where more than 12,000 volunteers collected donations, provided humanitarian aid, and participated in the restoration of destroyed houses.Tokayev emphasized the Assembly’s role in promoting the values of hard work and professionalism, particularly through its involvement in the Year of Working Professions. He proposed continuing last year’s initiative of honoring workers at major enterprises on Labor Day, celebrated every last Sunday of September, as an annual tradition.“Largely thanks to the APK, all ethnic groups in Kazakhstan have become active participants in the changes taking place in the country,” Tokayev said.New strategic documentHe stressed that Kazakhstan will continue systemic measures to uphold peace, unity, and independence. As the current APK Development Concept adopted in 2022 concludes, he called for drafting a new strategic document for 2026-2030 that should reflect new principles and approaches related to social consolidation, harmonious development, and ethnic group rights protection.Firstly, Tokayev proposed the establishment of a friendship house in the Almaty Region, similar to the one opened in Turkistan last year, and suggested including such centers in popular tourist routes for both locals and foreign visitors.Secondly, he instructed that leading media representatives be included in APK journalists’ clubs to promote unity and harmony in the information space through a unified algorithm.Thirdly, Tokayev urged to promote the principle of unity in diversity through culture and art, including mobile exhibitions from museums and a proposed festival of ethnic theater arts in Almaty, showcasing the country’s 13 ethnic theaters.He also encouraged active APK participation in the Taza Kazakhstan nationwide environmental campaign, which involved over six million participants, led to the collection of 1.6 million tons of garbage, and the planting of 3.3 million seedlings.Ensuring interethnic harmonyTokayev expressed confidence that these specific tasks will further strengthen the work in such an important and delicate area as interethnic relations. He warned that any attempts to provoke or disrupt peace would be strictly countered, “no matter who they come from.”“Harmony, tolerance, and friendship in Kazakhstan are not just slogans, but the essence of everyday life of the country’s citizens. Amid large-scale conflicts, trade wars, and the devaluation of human life, we still value peace more, without which there can be no development. And all of us, each in our own area, defend peace,” he stated.To overcome the acute deficit of trust in international relations, Tokayev stressed the importance of people’s diplomacy, highlighting the APK as a model of such engagement. He noted that direct contacts and friendly relations between people of different countries and cultures are the best tools to prevent conflicts and wars. Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mfa-budapest/press/news/details/984288?lang=kk

Human trafficking is a global problem that affects the lives of millions of people in every country in the world and deprives them of their human dignity. As one of the most shameful crimes in the world, human trafficking misleads and victimizes women, men and children, and forces them to be exploited on a daily basis. How to avoid becoming a victim of human trafficking? When traveling abroad, including on a tourist trip, you need to carefully prepare and check whether everything has been done so that you do not encounter problems that could have been avoided. The language barrier, different legislation, ignorance of the most important traditions and customs of the host country, as well as basic precautions not taken on time before the trip – all this can make your stay difficult and entail consequences that are dangerous for both your material and physical safety.Who might be at risk?* Young women, especially those with low education; * unemployed; * persons engaged in the provision of paid sexual services; * Low-income people; * migrants; * unemployed persons without a fixed place of residence; * children from disadvantaged families, orphans. * Socially vulnerable families, low-income families; * large families; * Single mothers.In order to protect yourself and your relatives, friends and acquaintances from the risk of getting into a situation of human trafficking, you need to know and follow some recommendations.:1. You should not trust anyone with your passport. Identification documents should always be with you only (if they are requested for registration, job registration, etc., let these services be performed in person).2. Avoid tempting offers from random or familiar people about work, study, or marriage abroad. 3. If you are going to find a job abroad, find out if the company that helps you find a job has the appropriate license. Study the contract that you are signing. It should specify the working and living conditions, salary and medical insurance. Check which visa is being issued to you.4. When you leave for work, inform your friends and family about where you are going and for how long. Leave them the addresses and phone numbers of the planned places of residence. Specify when you will contact them. It is advisable to take with you: copies of documents (in case the originals are taken away from you), money (to return home as soon as possible, if necessary), phone numbers of embassies, hotlines, emergency services, etc.).And remember, if you, your relatives, friends and acquaintances are affected by this situation or you wish to report a crime of human trafficking, please contact 102 or the unified helpline 116 16.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kostanai-bmalin-audany-akimat/press/news/details/984191?lang=kk
