Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev held a meeting with the Interior Ministers of the member states of the Organization of Turkic States. It brought together the OTS Secretary General and the heads of law enforcement agencies from Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Türkiye, and Uzbekistan. President Tokayev emphasized that Kazakhstan attaches great importance to deepening cooperation with this influential organization. The participants also discussed efforts to strengthen security. The Head of State drew attention to current threats and challenges. However, he noted that despite the global situation becoming increasingly unstable, new opportunities are opening up for the countries. To keep pace with progress, Kazakhstan has implemented sweeping reforms, including the adoption of a new Constitution, the establishment of the office of Vice President, and the formation of a new Government. The President also highlighted the transformations carried out in the country’s public administration and security structures.
«A new state body, the Office of the Security Council, has been established. Its functions include comprehensive analysis of global and national challenges and coordination of efforts in the field of national security. In addition, a supreme advisory body, the Khalyk Kenesi, will be formed in the near future. Thus, the public administration system is undergoing a profound transformation. These large-scale changes will affect all areas, including law enforcement,» President Tokayev noted.
«Today, under your leadership and thanks to your
far-sighted policies, broad and significant reforms are being carried out
across all spheres in the Republic of Kazakhstan, and we are witnessing these
changes. Recently, an observer mission of the Organization of Turkic States
monitored the referendum on the adoption of the new Constitution and the
elections to the Kurultai held in Kazakhstan. The results demonstrated the
support of the fraternal people of Kazakhstan for the democratic
transformations being consistently implemented in the country,» OTS Secretary General Kubanychbek Omuraliev said.
