The head of state: "Our constitution defines the history and deep identity of our country, its future appearance."
"But, I must say frankly, it would be a superficial judgment to say that all issues related to the protection of our sovereignty have been completely resolved.
The tasks before us are wide-ranging and urgent, important and complex.
You see and know the international situation. Political, economic and ideological contradictions are intensifying in the world. It is clear that in such turbulent times it is very difficult to predict the future of the world.
We have only one answer to such challenges of our time. It strengthens our unity, joining forces for common interests, deep awareness of our national responsibility and devoted service to our holy motherland - the Republic of Kazakhstan. Ultimately, strengthening sovereignty means increasing the welfare of the people, mastering new technologies, respecting the law, maintaining order, mutual support, hard work, creativity and respect for nature.
If we complete these tasks successfully, we will take our rightful place in world civilization. Therefore, the constitution anchors the development of education and science, innovation and human capital in accordance with modern requirements as a strategic mission of the state.
The primary document of our nation, namely our Constitution, defines the history and deep identity of our country, its future appearance. In particular, the constitutional status of the state language - the Kazakh language - is extremely clear and clearly stated."
