Tokayev Congratulates Kazakhstanis on Republic Day

President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has addressed Kazakhstanis with an official congratulation on Republic Day, celebrated on 25 October. He stressed that the date holds a special place in the country's history.

The head of state recalled that on 25 October the Declaration on State Sovereignty of Kazakhstan was adopted, which launched the republic's independent development. This year the holiday is marked on the eve of the 35th anniversary of the country's Independence.

In his address, Tokayev pointed to key achievements of the sovereign years, including the approval of state symbols, the legal enshrinement of state borders and the formation of a national financial system. He also highlighted the role of the capital, Astana, as a symbol of dynamic development, and the strengthening of civic unity. Republic Day, the first holiday of independent Kazakhstan, marks the country's first step toward independence, taken in 1990.
