On October 23, 2026, Al-Farabi Kazakh National University hosted a meeting with American students to mark Kazakhstan’s Republic Day.

As part of the event, Professor Eleonora Dussenovna Suleimenova, Doctor of Philological Sciences, delivered a lecture entitled “Kazakhstan: Ethnic Groups and Languages.”

During the lecture, Professor Suleimenova discussed the history of Kazakhstan’s emergence as an independent state, the significance of the Declaration of State Sovereignty of the Kazakh SSR, adopted on October 25, 1990, and its role in shaping modern Kazakhstani statehood.

Particular attention was paid to Kazakhstan’s language policy, institutional bilingualism, the constitutional status of the Kazakh and Russian languages, and the preservation of the country’s linguistic and cultural diversity.

Professor Suleimenova also presented the key features of Kazakhstan’s model of interethnic relations, which is based on respect for linguistic rights, cultural traditions, and national identity.

The meeting provided American students with an opportunity to learn about Kazakhstan’s history, social structure, and contemporary linguistic landscape, as well as to deepen their understanding of the country’s cultural diversity.

The event contributed to the development of intercultural dialogue, the strengthening of international academic ties, and the promotion of Kazakhstan’s historical and cultural heritage among international students.
