"As you know, I pay special attention to the development of mass sports. Without this, it is impossible to achieve the goal of educating healthy youth and strengthening the health of the entire nation. Recently, at a meeting with participants of the Olympic Games, I formulated key tasks and priorities in the field of sports. I believe that there is a need to update legislation in this area. The relevant amendments will give a powerful impetus to the development of mass and children's sports, provide the basis for the preparation of a new galaxy of champions. I think that the deputies should pay special attention to this important bill."Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, President of the Republic of Kazakhstan Consistent work is being carried out in Kazakhstan to develop the sports industry, from creating equal access to physical education to training international athletes.
