Kassym-Jomart Tokayev unveils annual address to Kazakhstan's people

Kazakhstan's President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has announced his annual address to the Kazakh people, titled “Current Tasks of Kazakhstan in the New Historical Period”, according to Tengrinews. Tokayev said the address was special both in its meaning and in its content.

Tokayev noted that on October 25 the country marked Republic Day, a national holiday, and that the Declaration of Sovereignty was adopted on that day. He said that 35 years of independence are now being completed and that this historic milestone holds a special place in the nation's history.

The president also referred to the Constitution adopted in March this year. Tokayev said the Constitution, which took effect on July 1, marked a fundamental renewal of the country's political system and the creation of new state institutions. He added that, although the issue is very important, there is no need to say much more about it.
