According to Tokayev, the assembly has proven to be an essential socio-political institution in embodying and implementing genuine democratic ideas and values, the
newspaper adds. He noted that all conflicts and wars come from national arrogance, an unwillingness to see a friend in another ethnic group.
“Five deputies of the Senate (upper chamber of the Kazakh parliament), appointed by the President at the proposal of the assembly, provide legislative feedback, public oversight, and represent the interests of all ethnic groups of Kazakhstan in the Parliament. In addition, 12 APK members joined the National Kurultai (congress), bringing valuable experience in advocating for a universal model of national dialogue,” Tokayev said, according to Astana Times.
President Tokayev emphasised that the country’s interests come first and citizens’ interests should be at the core of everything. “We make pivotal decisions together and build our shared future together. I am certain that such unity of purpose will be a significant driving force behind our initiatives. This is our most significant and invaluable accomplishment,” he said.
