Further, the speech touched upon the key events that have occurred in the socio-political life of the country over the past year. As a result of the national referendum, amendments were made to the Constitution. Several important electoral campaigns have been held, including presidential elections and the recent parliamentary and maslikhat elections. In general, a lot of work was done in a short time. The beginning of the construction of A Just Kazakhstan marked a new era in the development of our country. Kazakhstan is the only state in its geopolitical region that is carrying out such large-scale reforms. The updated Constitution and the transformations taking place in the country are a vivid confirmation of this. We are determined to continue the policy of reforms," the head of state said. The President noted that Kazakhstan will continue to carry out active international cooperation, and the country's foreign policy will always be independent. In his opinion, all our successes became possible thanks to unity and harmony in society. Folk wisdom says: "The key to well-being is in harmony." Only peace, cohesion and unity can ensure our prosperity and the achievement of lofty goals. It is these enduring values that are the condition for the progress of the state and the confidence of people in the future. Therefore, the preservation of peace and unity in Kazakhstan is one of our main tasks. We must direct all our efforts to this," the head of state said. According to Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, the promotion of traditional Islam in accordance with the spiritual and cultural needs of our society is of particular importance today. The traditions and customs of the Kazakh people have always called for good and had a deep moral significance. A remarkable example is the bata - the parting words of the elders to the youth. The younger generation has always treated the elders with due respect. Attention and reverent attitude in Kazakh society have always been awarded to daughters. All this is consonant with the main values of traditional Islam," the president said. The head of state also urged to preserve and develop the national culture. National culture is a deep and multifaceted phenomenon. The origins of the original culture of the Kazakh people are laid in the traditions and customs. The originality of our culture finds its bright embodiment in national clothes. It would be wonderful if the younger generation wore Kazakh national clothes not only on Nauryz meiramy and other holidays, but also on weekdays. National culture is a mirror of the life of the people, a manifestation of its being, and the spiritual development of the country is directly related to the development of national identity," Kassym-Jomart Tokayev emphasized. Expressing concern about the current situation in the world, the President noted that today society lacks such universal qualities as kindness, mercy and care for others. He therefore called for every effort to be made to combat these alarming trends that threaten all of humanity. To do this, everyone must sacredly keep in his heart the high principles and follow them in his daily thoughts and actions. In conclusion, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev wished all compatriots peace and prosperity. State and public figures, scientists, doctors, teachers, representatives of ethno-cultural associations, heads of diplomatic missions, cultural figures, rescue workers were invited to the auyzashar.
