Kazakhstan to launch new projects under Taza Qazaqstan Initiative

Kazakhstan is developing new projects to advance the nationwide Taza Qazaqstan initiative, Qazinform News Agency reports. Vice President Erlan Karin announced the plans on his social media accounts.

Karin said President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, during the first session of the Kazakhstan Khalky Kenesi, assigned the task of enriching the Taza Qazaqstan initiative with new content, ideas, and creative projects. Comprehensive work is currently underway to implement the President's directive. A number of new projects are being developed to transform the initiative and elevate it to a new level. Karin emphasized that all activities and projects under the initiative will be integrated into a single system to ensure effective coordination.

President Tokayev also proposed tougher penalties for polluting nature and public spaces. At the COP17 Leaders' Summit on Biodiversity, he emphasized that Kazakhstan, the world's ninth-largest country by area, is home to extraordinary biodiversity across its vast territory.
