May 31 is the Memorial Day for Victims of Political Repression and Famine. The date has been celebrated in our country since 1997. For 27 years, Kazakhstan has been commemorating the innocent dead on the Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Political Repression. In the village of Ayet, flowers were laid in the Youth Park at the memorial stone to the victims of political repression and famine in the 1930s, as well as at the bust of Beimbet Mailin. The event was attended by heads of institutions of the district center and members of the district Council of veterans. Olga Nurgalieva, Head of the Internal Policy Department, and Raisa Ovcharova, Chairman of the District Council of Veterans, spoke at the event. In their speech, they noted the need to remember the tragic events. The participants observed a minute of silence in memory of the victims. In Kazakhstan, from 1921 to 1954, more than 103,000 people were repressed and over 25,000 were shot. Between 2 and 3 million people died of starvation in the 1930s, and more than 1.5 million fled Kazakhstan.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kostanai-bmalin-audany-akimat/press/news/details/1008833?lang=kk

Key results of the financial statement audit for 2024 and the implementation of digital technologies 30.05.2025
In 2024, the Internal State Audit Committee conducted a financial statement audit of 15 administrators of republican budget programs, during which financial misstatements totaling 126.1 billion tenge were prevented.The results of the audit activities indicate the systemic nature of the identified violations, including: incorrect classification of assets, miscalculation of depreciation, lack of planned inventories, unjustified asset write-offs, and the failure to account for receivables and payables.To minimize these factors, a key solution is seen in the full digitalization of accounting operations and the establishment of unified technical accounting standards.In this regard, a pilot project titled “Unified Information System for Accounting in Public Institutions” (hereinafter – Cloud-Based Accounting) is being implemented.The ultimate goal of the project is to introduce cloud-based accounting on a unified electronic platform, which will eliminate potential manipulation of accounting records and enable real-time remote monitoring of accounting operations. This will reduce risks and the audit burden on public sector entities.In the long term, the use of Cloud-Based Accounting will expand the coverage of consolidated financial statement audits, ultimately improving the quality of auditors’ expressed opinions.As part of the monitoring process, notifications will be sent to audited entities in the event that violations or errors are detected, allowing for their voluntary and independent correction.In addition, the implementation of format-logical controls in the accounting information system is planned, which will prevent various types of errors and discrepancies. Risk-based indicators will also be developed to automatically generate such notifications.Upon completion of the financial statement audit, an audit opinion will be issued on the reliability of the financial statements, taking into account the monitoring results.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kvga/press/news/details/1008584?lang=kk

Kazakhstan and Africa Open New Horizons of Partnership at Astana International Forum 30.05.2025
Astana, May 30, 2025 – Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan Alibek Kuantyrov took part in the panel session “Kazakhstan and Africa: New Frontiers of Cooperation” during the Astana International Forum. The session focused on exploring prospects for trade and economic cooperation, industrial collaboration, technology exchange, and sustainable development between Central Asia and African countries.The session was moderated by Lassina Zerbo, former Prime Minister of Burkina Faso and former Executive Secretary of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO). Among the speakers were Olivier Jean Patrick Nduhungirehe, Rwanda’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation; Denis Christel Sassou N’Guesso, Republic of the Congo’s Minister of International Cooperation; Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, the traditional ruler of Ife, Nigeria; Paramount Group founder Ivor Ichikowitz, and Alomra Group International President Driss Benomar.In his remarks, Kuantyrov emphasized that Africa is not just a developing region for Kazakhstan, but a strategic partner with whom long-term, mutually beneficial relations can be built. He noted that in 2024, trade turnover between Kazakhstan and African countries grew by 15% and reached 783 million US dollars, with rising interest in bilateral investment, particularly in agriculture, logistics, digital technologies, pharmaceuticals, and industrial manufacturing, including mechanical engineering.Particular attention was given to a project by the Egyptian company EIPICO, which is investing 33 million US dollars in the construction of a full-cycle pharmaceutical plant in Kazakhstan. According to him, this is a clear example of how African companies view Kazakhstan – not as a distant market, but as a platform for high-tech, long-term investment.“Kazakhstan approaches its dialogue with Africa not from a donor perspective, but as an equal partner. We are ready to trade, co-invest, and share experience in green energy, digital governance, agri-processing, and logistics. Today, as Africa becomes a center of global growth, we believe the time is right to build deep, multidimensional partnerships based on mutual respect, pragmatism, and sustainable development,” stated Kuantyrov.The session also explored concrete areas for cooperation – from supplying halal and organic products to African markets to jointly creating agri-processing clusters. Deputy Minister Kuantyrov noted that Kazakhstan is one of the world’s largest flour exporters and is ready to be a reliable partner in ensuring food security across the African continent.Special emphasis was placed on potential in the fields of digitalization and innovation. Kazakhstan proposed collaboration in telecommunications infrastructure, smart city solutions, and satellite technologies.The session concluded with a discussion on the importance of building bridges between Africa and Central Asia, enhancing B2B cooperation, and utilizing platforms such as Astana Hub, KazAID, and the Islamic Organization for Food Security.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mfa-pretoria/press/news/details/1015304?lang=kk
