COMMENT ON THE INTERVIEW OF PRESIDENT KASSYM-JOMART KEMELULY TOKAYEV TO THE NEWSPAPER "EGEMEN KAZAKHSTAN"

If we take a look at President Kassym-Jomart Kemeluly Tokaev's extensive interview with "Egemen Qazaqstan" newspaper today, he focused on the socio-economic and internal-external political situation of the country.Of course, all these problems are not some other world that has nothing to do with us, but the questions that every Kazakhstani sees every day. In fact, after the January incident, there are many people who doubt the future of our country, especially the power of law and justice. It is also true that some sectors of the country, especially public utility services, do not stand up to criticism. At the same time, the safety of workers in mines, safety of mother and child, etc., are hotly discussed today. Such issues are also worrying our people. Apart from that, relations of our country with other countries, especially with big neighbors like China and Russia, and their influence is a question on the mind of our compatriot who is not indifferent to the development of Kazakhstan. Today, Kasym-Jomart Kemeluly discussed all these issues individually. In particular, he emphasized the importance of political reforms and the fact that the Constitution will not be subject to further inappropriate changes in order for our country to become a strong, unshakable state. This, of course, inspires confidence.In addition, he focused on the foreign policy of our country and the changes taking place on the world political scene, showed the attractiveness of the Central Asian countries for the world today, and spoke about the rational points for Kazakhstan to strengthen and develop relations with our neighbors China and Russia.Of course, despite the fact that the importance of the initiatives and plans of Kazakhstan as a state mentioned in the interview by President Kassym-Zhomart Kemeluly Tokayev raises doubts among some of our compatriots, we agree that these activities are of great importance for strengthening the role of our country in the world community, gaining its rightful place, and creating favorable investment conditions. and in order for the country to cope with all the difficulties and develop further, the unity of the people, which the President is talking about, really has a great role.
